2 different fly shots

Head shot of a common house fly...

.

Was very surprised at the reflection in this shot of a hover fly.
I had placed a few drops of honey sweetened water in a jar laying on its side. It took a while with a few near misses but eventually one went inside and I was lucky enough to capture it broadside through the open end of the jar.
