fly, possibly with infection from Entomophthora fungus
At home
Lots of flies seem to suffer from this fungus. Flies so infected will climb to the tip of a leaf, or a grass stem, or a flower, and cling there while the fungus begins to take over and kill them. A fly that is completely infected will show the white spores suffusing the body.
