I was taking the trash carts out to the curb and this cute large eyed fly was persistent to land on the lid. Because I am most often carry an empty plastic pill bottle in my pocket it worked out good for me and not so good for it.

As I walked into the house with my prize, a housefly was walking on the kitchen countertop and the two of them became good friends for the short time that they had remaining before staging them for focus stacking sessions.

I've learned from my days as a Scout..."Always be prepared".

Oh, Napabob, it is so good to hear from you. I hope all is well in the wine-country. The first fly had one of its legs crossing its face and I was going to move it however I thought it provided a bit of interest to the shot. The houseflies are just plain ugly and one can see how they can be so nasty too.

Thanks, Toment. I'm pretty good at stunning them with the Ol' Swatter however as quashed fly does not make a good subject.

Thanks, Kpmac. I hope the heat and humidity are not too overbearing for you down there. It's pretty stiff up here.

Thanks, Joe. The compound eyes of the flies always intrigue me.
