Default Bathroom fly

I see this insect resting on the wall after taking my bath today.
Can't really see it clearly, as it's only 4~5mm. So decided to take some macro shots.

I can't take macro without flash!
I don't think flash can kill any flies. The thread you saw should be only some PP effect.

Thanks.

That is one strange looking dude!!! Didn't know these live in Singapore too. I saw similiar one in Ireland. I think it's a kind of mayfly.

Nice Catch!

Yes, I have never seen it before, so decided to take a picture of it.

Ya, I also wonder what's that lumps for!
