Amazing colors Mother Nature gave this little critter, and you captured them beautifully. Very nice shot. I would have preferred a live one.
Have you tried putting live ones in a freezer for about 10 minutes(varies on temp.) They come out very groggy and sit well for portraits.

That is really ugly. But wow what a great capture of texture. From the wings to the shell to the little hairs. Was this thing moving when you took it? Even higher accolodes for getting such a clear image.

WOW amazing, only thing I can find wrong with this shot is the dark spot in the upper left hand corner. Good job! 9

I hereby bequeath unto you the yucky fly picture award! Wow, that thing is full of texture. Don't think I'd order a print, but I really like what you've done with the little critter. Nice focus.

Hey look, a fly on a stick (sorry running joke with my wife). Good detail although he's a little dirty and appears to be collecting dust for a little while. I like the depth of field and sharp focus. Totally one color background helps give attention where it is due.

Good luck
