 after voting ..

WOW .!!. sharing the front page with the other ribbons and top fives is quite a surprise .. especially with a yucky old fly . thats me making a joke btw . i dont think they are yucky at all .. in fact quite the reverse .
i was going to title this 'Flies. We're pollinators too' ..
asked my son-in-law and he said 'Pretty Fly' .. then i thought 'Feelin' pretty fly' would have been cool but felt many ppl wouldnt see the ref .. ;)

thanks guys for putting this excellent little pollinator up there with stunning photos .. xx
