Blowfly
This is probably one of my favorite pictures that I took over the summer. Granted, it’s of a very common Blowfly, which is definitely not something I’d consider a very cool insect, but I still want to think it’s a nice picture.
I’m just having a problem getting past the fact that when I was growing up my father had a special name for these shiny little flies. Let’s just say he called them “Excrement Flies.” Not very flattering, and very evocative of certain feelings.
So, here’s what could have been a cool picture, ruined by a smelly fly.
Enjoy.
Moved InsectPOD to a new server last week due to some performance problems; new server much worse. Apologies. Will fix. Stay tuned.
