I am literally spoilt for choice of flies. Any way, here's a few more from the land down under. Only three here but the other five here: A Plethora of Flies

Beautiful images!

I'm curious about the title, though. Is it tongue-in-cheek, or did you mean "plethora" instead of "dearth"?

He's an Ozzie, Rik, their English is almost as bad as the Yanks'

Yes, the old brain of an Aussie would be an interesting specimen to forensic science. Being reversed to the norm.

Thanks Rik.

Amazing photos Mark. They're not my favourite creatures, but they are pretty spectacular in their own unique way.

On the subject of brains, I assume some brains could be pickled specimens in the interests of science.

Cheers

Well, I was middle-aged before I got around to looking up what those words really meant.

Then I discovered that my brain held a dearth of wisdom and a plethora of trivia.

After that, keeping them straight was easy...

Beautiful flies Mark (yes, flies can be beautiful). Photos are tack sharp and great DOF.

High-impact images, in which the harmony between subject and background colours plays a major role.

Cheers guys.

As you see Sam, brains come in all sorts. Polite, gentlemanly, colourful, humorous, astringent? Saintly, anyone?
