The head is great the way it is.. Someone's imagination is their imagination. I love it. I'm scared though now..lol "help meeeeeeee.. help meeeeeeeeeee".. i can still hear that from the old movie

The smaller head works for me. It is most fitting considering the difference in size from human to insect. It also makes the image more sinister. (Of course you have to choose when you have several opinions and that ain't easy.) Shu

I didn't see the movie, but read the book. Make the head bigger, please ;-)

Anna, I tried not to blow the fly's head too much out of proportion to rest of the body. I mean, it's already ~1.5 times an ordinary human head... :D Did you ever see the movie The Fly by David Chronenberg?http://imdb.com/title/tt0091064/ , remake of the original movie The Flyhttp://imdb.com/title/tt0051622/ -Arn

Very good idea Arn. I think the fly's head should be a bit bigger, to dominate the picture more. /Anna

Thank you. Your contributions are a double whamy! (Now I KNOW why we swat them!!!) Shu

Shu, that's a fly's head. Probably a house fly (Musca domestica Linnaeus). Ps. here's some nice info about the species ;) -Arn The control of Musca domestica is vital to human health and comfort in many areas of the world. The most important damage related with this insect is the annoyance and the indirect damage produced by the potential transmission of more than 100 pathogens associated with this fly. These may cause disease in humans and animals, including typhoid, cholera, bacillary dysentery, tuberculosis, anthrax ophthalmia and infantile diarrhea, as well as parasitic worms. Pathogenic organisms are picked up by flies from garbage, sewage and other sources of filth, and then transferred on their mouthparts and other body parts, through their vomitus, feces and contaminated external body parts to human and animal food.

Brilliant work! I really like this kind of thing. What's the face? Is it a bee? Scarey creation. I particularly like the eerie mustard treatment. Shu
