Waiting for a Bus
I found this odd looking bugger in one of my wife’s flower beds. Goofy looking and larger than a typical house fly, I worked on sneaking up on it to, hopefully, get a decent picture of it. To my delight and surprise, this guy didn’t seem to mind me. It sat there – just as you see him – while I moved within inches and snapped several photos.
This is an image I captured several years ago using my consumer grade Kodak Easyshare DX7590. That camera was pretty good at macro work.
On a side note: I posted this yesterday on my Google+ account. Someone commented, “That’s a dung fly.” I think I would have preferred not to know that. Especially when I consider how comfortable it was with my presence. (If you’d like to follow me on Google +: https://plus.google.com/u/0/113684854375405108383/posts)
To get a better view of the bug, click on the photo.
