Matt beat me to it with his super MPE setup. Hope 2 consecutive Dung Fly shots don't give you guys & gals the wrong impression about Leicestershire!

Thanks for looking.

Sharp despite the slow shutter speed. Actually like the blur on the antennae as it injects a bit of life. Nicely composed and good clear view. :toast: :toast:

nice shot Des and I like the composition. I don't think this is a Dung Fly though.

Very nice work indeed, even down to the slight movement on the antennae.. super macro.

There must be an awful lot of different types of dung around here, because Matt's fly is green, yours is brown and I always thought they were yellow. There must be somebody on here who has studied them, but I don't suppose they'll own up to it!
Nice Shot Des, bags of detail and those vibrating antennae are a nice touch.
