Portrait of Female Horse/Cleg Fly @ 6x

Whilst washing the dishes yesterday, I spotted a spider just outside the window wrapping a fly up for his supper. Unfortunately for him I wanted the fly more once I saw it was a female Horse fly.

I replaced the spiders meal with something else and stuck the Horse fly in a box for a stack.

 

The reason I wanted to do yet another stack is simply because the last one I did was rushed because I didn't have a great amount of time to do it.

This time I ensured lighting was better, to make sure the detail would still be there in the final outcome - which I think it is.

 

Hope you like it - One of Just it's eye soon which just amazes me, the colours are so beautiful, they have got to be the most amazing flies in the UK !
