Description
Black Soldier Fly - Hermetia illucens
Found this dude on the lemon tree in the cool of morning the other day. I believe I have another shot of this beauty in my gallery. But with my new set up and better flash diffusion I got those killer eyes captured nicely.
Interesting note is that these flies, once adult do not eat. They have no working mouth parts. They merely live to mate then die.

A marvellous portrait! Interesting about the lack of mouth, like male mosquitos.

Great head on shot - the patterning looks like an Egyptian motif to me...
