Watering an outdoor potted cactus this morning, I came across this long-dead fly.
Anyone seen anything like it?
WOW!
What are the odds on that!

That plant is the thorny fly catcher. It has amazing speed and accuracy so it can catch flies on the fly.

My fingwes can attest to that, as can my dogs' noses!

Yes, I have seen “anything like it”, not identical but like it. Based on what I’ve seen, a very small predator has cached its catch there for later consumption.
The other “anything like it”, not involving any predators, is that the image is like a photo hobbyist buying a brand new high end SLR in late 2021 ;-)

Stupid fly. Not watching where he’s going??
Zigged when he shoulda' zagged.
How else is a fly to commit suicide except to fly into a spider's web.
I thought he was practicing for the pole vault.
Never seen that until you posted it! Nice capture!
