Scary fake eye - Monomad challenge

avatar

This is my entry for the #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes

I know that fly has a compound eye, which means that their eyes actually consist of so many smaller visual units, which then connects to their brian to give them the overall eye sight toward the world around them. Thinking about that is already scary, like you have no blind spot, as so many eyes are watching every move. I have read that because they have the compound eyes that make our move when we try to smack them look like a slow motion that is so easy for them to evade. Now you know the reason why it is so hard to get rid of them when they are around the house isn't it?

But this soldier flies, gave me another scary look with its fake eye piece on its compound eyes. It is just the coloration that makes it look like it has a different set of eyes as you can see below.
But then that fake eye is already scare me a little bit, just like an assassin that is try to fins the small flaw so that it can kill you in one strike.

I am so happy that this fly is so small and doesn't have any killing weapon that could literally could kill you in an instant, if not than I would not dare to get photograph of this fly.

When you look at the details of these insects, they seem like toys or something artificial, but they are undoubtedly perfect beings in all their characteristics.

Very detailed shot of the fly. For me, what's more scary is the size of the eyes and the fact it takes almost all of the head lol.

this one loos scary with its eyes. !LOLZ
yes this one is called soldier fly, there is a genera that is called a soldier fly, usually with such a big eyes like this one. But the most useful one is the black soldier fly as they can be a good decomposer,a nd their larvae can be use to feed chicken.

Is that a black soldier fly per chance? Nice pics, I think you captured it's very essence in these images. If you think they look like assassins wait until you see a 50X pic of them: true monsters, the stuff of nightmares.

I liked the way the pitch black background condensed the mental focus onto the fly.

I don't think it is a black soldier fly, but certainly one if the species from the soldier fly genera. Yes they are very beautiful, but also very scary at the same time.
Thanks so much my friend, I am happy that you like it.
