Black And White – I Fly

The fly’s actual length is around 12mm.

*Click on the pictures for a proper look …

The wing would be around 7mm long.

I have seen this fly a few times over the years but never got a shot until recently when it flew across my path and landed on a big tree I was inspecting.

It looks black and white to the unaided eye, no colours at all, but some hues and shades appear when you get up closer. A fly’s eye view you could say.

It’s a plain enough creature, unremarkable in a way, still amazing to be able to enter its world this way and see what another fly would see.

I look across and see what I would look like as a fly. I see fly … You never know, at the surface, the genius behind the form.

As always, I love the little appendages and variations in eye shape and body design. Makes humans look very bland in comparison.

Even “bland” is beautiful when we take a closer look. :-)

The wings are like delicate, fragile works of art.

  They look delicate but are really well built for the job.
  
  Works of art no doubt …

A fly’s eye view. Wow. And yet – can we really know what a fly sees?

  What else would a fly see? Spectra sensitivity might vary but it would have to be based on what is visible (or actual) anyway.

A beauty, even without the splashiness of bold colors.
