Great image!
I love that the focus is on the fly and not the 'usual' butterfly behind it:-) You should add a catchy title and submit this to a contest (like that done by the National Wildlife Federation).

awesome Idea
I like to submit my pictures, but depending on the contest, they either love my pictures... or wonder why I would bother submitting... It's strange sometimes. Thanks!!
