I get it! An in-your-(fly)face micro. Well done. I recommend viewing the enlargement.
Any stacking, or single exposure?
What is your illumination?

Download a must!
The flies sure look bigger in NZ than they are here in the USA.

Thank you all for looking/commenting.

150 exposure stack. I had trouble with exposure (as always).

@ Tom: I remember making a rough calculation, and figuring it was somewhere in the range of 12:1, so it must have included some extension tube between the camera and the 100mm tube lens.

In this specific instance I opted for mag, rather than field of view. I did crop out laterally, as the stack probably required 30% more than it got, which unfortunately left the posterior perimeter of the eyes unsharp.
