    Default Stalk-eyed fly

    My 10 year old son photographed this fly and he is chuffed. I have never seen such a fly in my life.

    He then continued to give me a "lecture" about this species of flies. To all the kids out there

    Regards

    Proud father

    Great post! It is always nice to see children take an interest in stuff other than cellphones, tablets and television.

    Nurture and support his passions (as I am sure you do), and it might become something extraordinary.
