Got to let it show

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show

There's a new me coming out

Like you never knew it

Ooh, I'll make it through

None of the flies (or other insects) in my photos are frozen or dead. None have been manually 'posed'. All are photographed alive and well in their natural environment, unless they are being killed or eaten by another insect in the photo.
