    That's what I love about macro, a simple housefly, considered by all as revolting, turned into a fascinating creature! Posted 11 years ago

      I generally agree that macro makes dull insects into fascinating alien-like creatures. It's what attracts me in macro the most. Except for flies. I find them revolting at any size. Because they really are. Yes, I'm strangely inconsistent :) Posted 11 years ago

        Ha ha, why is it that the most revolting creatures are the ones that we need the most? Natures housekeepers; get rid of all the dead and decaying bodies! Posted 11 years ago
