I have never felt so sorry for a fly, as in your picture. Imagine an animal the size of big mouse has penetrated your neck, and there is nothing you can do about it. It probably sucks your bodyfluits for the rest of your misserable life, and god knows how it hurts. Technically perfect photo's like this one tend to be sterile. But this one combines passion and perfection. A great and outstanding photo to my opinion.

beyond insane [http://www.flickr.com/photos/49471909@N08] I think size wise that would be more like a full size cat on your back, jeez

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/clarkjames] I think proportionally it would be more the size of a rat stuck on a human neck, but I reckon you'd notice it!! ;)

Wow! What a shot!! How in the world did you set this up so the fly wasn't moving for a photo that close?
