Flies...

Challenge #37 in the Language Of Light series. Hosted by Deleted pending purge.

Challenge has finished

The most common insects, usually capable of pestering just about any human set of nerves... and in the same time, flies are invaluable source of nourishment for billions of other creatures... What are they, then: a blessing or a scourge? Someone said, when God was creating animals, Satan was under the table making flies! So, let's see your best shot of this ubiquitous buzzing creature. And PLEASE, do observe the Rules! It's so frustrating to disqualify some good image, just because its autor forgets to remember...
