Goodness, look at those eyes!
Aalestrup
This Fly is dead :) Here in Denmark we have only few bugs that really hurts when they bite. This here is one of them. I'm getting bitten by this kind every day for the last 3 days on my photo trips :( I do not normally kill the insects I photographers, but this one is the exception. I kill it, as soon as I see it, or when I feel the bite.
