ahahahahaha. So these photo's are literally the last seconds of their lives? Aren't you the sensitive one to snap their photo before you snap their neck? ahahahaha.

I like the fly photo best. Lots of detail.

At that range you'd see the glue David

Really well done. Your lighting is great - nicely brought-out detail.
