Yesterday I was trying to photograph bumble bees but every photo was fuzzy. Not bee fuzzy but blurry fuzzy. I got discouraged and began to shoot pictures of moths and beetles and whatever happened by.
Later, when I reviewed the images, I found this fly portrait. Wonder of wonders, I had no idea that flies had feet like that. Truthfully, I haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about fly feet, but this was a surprise.
Anyway, I share it simply because it’s interesting.

It’s holding on to the leaf by its legs! Now you need another photo of a fly on a flat surface like a wall, window or ceiling.
Flies are highly specialised to live anywhere;)
Talk about isometric exercise! Phew! That fly has got talent!
Interesting. I guess the cartoon caricatures of a fly aren’t that far off. They are wearing shoes.
I’m thinking about fly feet now! That is so cool!
I haven’t spend…
Thank you, Rich.
