Very nice Paul. Excellent detail all round. Muscids make such excellent models hehe.

Lovely capture- not a muscid though- a dung fly - Scathophagidae

I sometimes get confused between the Dungs and Muscids. Mind you I should have known because every time I try to photograph a dung fly, it just comes out looking exceptionally shiny and golden whereas the muscids, tend to be a flatter beige. I wasn't completely sure here though haha.
