Nice shots, David...although I don't think it's the dreaded 'red eye' effect....

I'm not certain but I wouldn't have thought flies have the retina/eye structure to create the same effect as in humans.

Regardless...onya!

Great shots David
As much as I hate flies you do so much to show what fascinating creatures they are

It might have got all embarrassed by you taking its picture when it hadn't combed it's hair
