Someone asked me if I had a lower angle from my previous fly post :confused:........I had forgotten about it......but here it is. Does anyone know which is male or which is female........and is that a fly sex organ we are looking at:D??? Now there's something you never thought you'd be discussing in photography!
Canon Mark 3 at ISO 1000 with the Sigma 180mm macro and the MT 24 twin lights at +1/3 and f32 for 1/60 sec. hand held.
As always comments welcomed and appreciated.

Nothing better to shoot Roman? Lol, well it does seem technically sound. Those eyes sure do stand out on that grey background.

OK.........so I thought because the front fly was larger..........that somehow that was the male regardless of position:D..........on that note.........I Googled it..........and the back fly is indeed the male! I just didn't want to Google "Fly reproduction".......my wife already thinks I'm nuts!

Hahaha! Yes, the female is usually the predominantly-sized insect if I remember my biology correctly!
