Awwwwwwwww only a mother could love it
It's little wings are still unstretched.

Dang it Brian you put us to shame with the variety of bugs you find!

Ive seen a newly hatched Butterfly but not a newly hatched fly,
The background of the first shot makes No.1 my favourite.

Awesome shots Brian ... Skippy
