Ectophasia crassipennis.
The beauty and the beast in one.
The bead of water hanging off her her is something I only noticed when looking at the photos at home.

Wow, Marcin... a fly charmer, eh? The detail on the eyes is amazing. The short depth of field makes the fly look huge.
I'm not a bug person in general, but the flying ones intrigue me. Spiders and cockroaches... not so much.
