No Flies on Me
. . . Because they are far more interested in this.
A common stinkhorn fungus (Phallus impudicus)
Surprisingly, it wasn't the smell that drew my attention, but the cloud of flies that rose from it as I approached too close.
I let them all re-settle and photographed them through a telephoto lens from about 5 feet away. I then switched to macro and moved in closer but the majority of the flies flew off again leaving just a few orange Lauxaniid flies.
(That one is posted as an 'extra').
