This afternoon when I got home it seemed like we were being over-run with these flies. I found this lone guy trying unsuccessfully to fly out of a closed window; he would land on the exact same spot time and again, which gave me the precious seconds needed to set myself up for a few quick shots.

Talk about being in your face. Would hate to meet up with one that big! Great capture!
