 The only fly I could find this time of the year, stuck on a stick of butter and scraped up a little butter to be able to see the butter better. Cropped, sharpened, fixed a couple rough spots with clone and adjusted levels slightly.

Good pun and very good photographc skills. Most people find flies disgusting and may pass on this one, even though it deserves a high finish. Clean sharp, and has good lighting
Good luck ! !
