Was chipping out weeds the other day, and this little bugger was perched right on top of one, and stuck around for a few close ups.

Flys are so annoying, but fascinating when you can study them up close. So many details you don't usually get to appreciate.

The plant is a Bathurst Burr. They tell me its the inspiration for Velcro. Those little hooks on the burr grab onto fur and clothing, helping to spread it around as animals brush up against it.
