This detailed macro image captures a housefly (Musca domestica) perched on a slightly curled green leaf. The fly's prominent red compound eyes and translucent wings are sharply in focus, contrasting against the soft, blurred background of foliage. Belonging to the suborder Cyclorrhapha, the housefly is believed to have originated in the Middle East and has since spread globally, living in close association with humans. Despite being a common insect, its intricate features and ecological adaptability are on full display in this intimate nature photograph.
