The Fly With 9 Lives

They seem to know when it's suppertime. This one was waiting on the window-sill. I found the trusty flyswatter. Flapped, swatted and chased. Stunned him. He played dead, feet in the air, then proceeded to disappear as soon as I walked away. The next time I saw him I was armed with my camera! Not the best shot, but it has meaning... (to the fly anyway.)

Canon PowerShot S3 IS
1/20s f/3.5 at 72.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
