i took this picture (yes, my camera rocks) on my most recent trip to the audubon zoo in new orleans.the setting. creepy. because. this fly was on a tree infested with a gazillion - nay, a quadragazillion other flies. and. these creatures were not enclosed in an acrylic cage or in a housed exhibit. no. these flies were out in the open.
they.were.wild.
just look see how this fly sticks out his probiscus. all exposed with no shame. wild! wild, tell you!

What a great shop...kind of creepy but great none-the-less.
wow...I can't think like Insanity Kim. I was just going to say that it looks like the fly has a little bitty hat on....
They... They put that right out in the OPEN? Where children can see? Wow. Just... wow.
;-)
Ewww, but great photo.
BTW, mine didn't bounce, thankfully! I did my hopework beforehand though -- business check, references, etc. -- and it was a great experience. Each rep has their own business though, I think, so you should definitely ask for references if you ever plan to attend one again.
Pretty close-up of the fly and very funny post.
Long time no see. Hope you will drop on by and check us out.
All I can think of is what the fly is thinking as you took that picture. "Gee, lady, can't you tell I need some privacy here?"
What a pervy fly. serious. dirty.
Great photo, creepy fly.

eww. i think i prefer the not-so-wild-wild. the kind that has no exclamation point at the end. like, wild. no wild!s here and definately no WILD!s. yikes.
swarms of anything are too wild for me to witness in person. I think I'll stick to the occasional blip on tv.
besides, the sciency-tific part of me might have to observe the said swarm and put my get-the-hell-out-of-here part of me in complete and utter danger.
Cool picture!1
Um, W? I need to tell you something. I uh...tagged you. Yup. I admit it. I did. Check out the blog - you'll see.
i just twitched hearing of bugs
Check out the probiscus on that fly! I bet his little fly wife was all "do you have to always take that thing out in public?" and he was all "it's my gift and my curse" and she was all "eye roll".
ewwww. creepy, but great shot!!
Oh how I miss you! Let me count the ways...

you know what they say about flies with long proboscus-es, right?!
Who was it that shook the tree and those yucky little flies fled by the thousands.
