p.1 #1 · Parrot fly :)

Not sure why but this fly (think it's Geomyzia tripunctata) came out looking like a parrot - spotted when i was doing some dewdrop refraction shots. Taken around 3:1 FF and focus stacked.

Is that really some sort of "beak" or does it have to do with the angle it was taken?

Love the background, nice colours.

Thanks Matt,
No it must be the angle I took it at- it was facing slightly away from me. Think it's the same species below. So guessing it was holding it's proboscis slightly forward at the time
