Nice series Igor, looks like you will have lots of flies to shoot soon. That first one gets the prize for oddest looking.

The flies are great but the maggots are gross! Very interesting shot of the Gall.

Thanks for the comments, everyone, definitely appreciated. Strangely, the maggots were apparently just in some leaf litter, without any obvious dead animal. I was surprised by this, and that is why decided to take the shot. There were some predatory beetles there eating them, but I could not photograph them - they hide very quickly when the leaves were disturbed. John - you are right about sensor dust, I didn't clean it in about 2 years and change lenses relatively frequently. Fizzog and Brian - this gall was much bigger (about 10 mm) than what I usually see. Probably most galls I see typically are caused by mites or aphids, and this big one is probably caused by an insect larva.

Thanks, Michael. This species is common here, although I don't know much about it.
