A "fungused" fly in the characteristic pose on a golden foxtail grasshead.
This fly has been infected by the fungus Entomophthora muscae. This fungus specifically affects the fly's brain and changes its behaviour. It makes it climb to the top of the plant where it dies and the fungus then sporulates (which can be seen in this photo) .
The highest point is best for the fungus as it lets the airborne spores get the best release. The airborne spores can transmit to other flies by landing on them but interestingly it can also transmit more directly when male flies attempt to mate with deceased females infected with the fungus.
Anyway, I hope everyone's FlyDay is going better that this fly's one!

a fly on a sun lounger in February - good to sit down
I'm going to be sitting down and watching the Late Late show on RTE this evening where the Irish Eurovision entry gets chosen for Liverpool. I really like the Public Image Limited song "Hawaii". A song about dementia and its consequences on a relationship. And there is just something so fun/subversive/satisfying about the idea of Johnny Rotten heading up a Eurovision entry.
It is not the bookies favourite to win the Irish competition but if It does, I really think it would do well in Liverpool.

It's Flyday once again, and what earthy good is a Flyday without a fly. Another one of the pesky flesh fly, trying it's best to look benign. A 2-image, handheld focus stack.
Happy Flyday Friday. HFF

Grudging tolerance is enough to transform!

A willing fly on an Agapanthus leaf in the car park yesterday. Happy Flyday everyone.

I saw a 1cm-long black fly land on a leaf and thought "That won't male much of a photo". Then I remembered that you can discover all sorts of wonderful colours you can't see with the naked eye when you look through a macro lens. Wow, it's not "just" a black fly! I've no idea what species it is but I definitely didn't see all those colours through my own eyes. Cropped from 3:2 ratio to 4:3 maintaining the height of the original photo. Taken using the pop-up flash - a rare event for me - set to 1/32 power, with diffuser, on account of the thick overhead cloud.
STOP PRESS: I've just ID-d this as an Orange-bearded bluebottle; what a name!
It's Flyday! Yay! For those of you not familiar with Louie The Fly you can view his starring role here.

With the mild weather there are still plenty of these pesky stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans) about.

It's Flyday again, hope it's a good day and weekend for you all! HFDF ;0) Watched this (Myathropa florea) Batman hoverfly grooming itself for sometime! It looked pretty dapper to me before never mind after!
it is a a large syrphid fly with a distinctive pale band across the abdomen and large dark spots on the middle of the wing.
Fascinatingly the larvae of these flies grow inside the nests of the vespula wasps, both the common and german wasps. They feed on the dead wasps and larvae and other detritus in the nest. They can continue to feed and grow in the nest in the Autumn after the nest is abandoned by the wasps.
The adults live on nectar and maybe pollen - this one has pollen on it from the flowers it has visited.
