Here is a Picture Winged Fly...Delphinia picta...munching on what I think is a bird poop Buffet (YUM). Recognize what he is sitting on (Not barbed wire)?

Uh..hmm...let me see...uh, his butt, no, no.

The top of a chain link fence in some prison yard?

Well maybe not a prison yard but the top of chain link fence just the same. Good shot Doug.

Hi ya' Doug,

Picture-winged flies are just too cool.

However, they lack dietary discretion. Nice image, Doug.

Best regards,

Very nice, Doug. An amazing looking creature, never seen one before.

Great artistic picture. It is nice to see the scale with these barbed wires.

Flies are very interesting but you have to watch them from very close:) And not many people dare to do that:)
