a dead housefly

Every birth must engender a death, and every death brings forth another birth. This way, the energy of the world remains complete.

[yamcake]

[zerofour]

It looks like it has a crash on the land.... like the movie black hawk down...
haha just comment

[snowspeeder]

Is this an old fly that died naturally or did you use the "anti-aircraft" baygon to bring it down?

looks pretty much like it used a 'surface to air swat team', the wing on the other side looked deformed...

anyway, nice shot, very low level shot, taken from side of table?

hahah ... black hawk down indeed ... very nice quote - but this is evidently a murder!! aahhaha... warrants a full investigation... somebody call CSI

[swimcraze]

well...thanks for the comments so far.
confession time now...

i caught the fly initially...it was a little giddy but very much alive.
i was trying to take a shot at it but it kept walking about.
i was very patient, i had it on focus and was about to snap but it took flight.

i was so anxious to get it back, i quickly grabbed a book and swapped it against the wall.

so here is the end result....

sorry fly....

hahaha ... there, guilt does it better than CSI ... but seriously did you HAVE TO kill it? I mean, I'm no insect lover but sometimes we have to remind ourselves the human race doesn't own earth ... so as much as i'll like to squash that ant running in circles on my table right now, thoroughly annoying me, i do realise it's not like it's doing it on purpose ... ahhahah

[swimcraze]

come on...i didn't do it on purpose...i guess i must have been too anxious that i used a little too much force on the poor fella....i just wanted a knock out, not a fatal attack

but it looks fatal...the eye & the body has been disfigured badly...

oh, well...since ur intention wasn't to kill it, dun worry bout it...

hah! tell that to the judge, it's manslaughter at the very least, wait, flyslaughter i mean...

no worries swimcraze, since u didn't mean it, but i've gotta say you should know not much good can come out of it the moment u reached for that book ... i hope i don't sound all holier-than-thou ... I am just trying to discourage killing life in any of its forms just because one feels irritated or annoyed by it ... I'm sure giant me has stepped on, swallowed or drowned a dozen of insects unawares just today, but where possible, please do, live and let live...
