I caught it resting on the leaf of one of my potted plants outside my house at 2am in the morning.
This common housefly was quite docile and allowed me to take many shots with flash.
That was until it realized of the intruder to its peaceful rest and turned around to face me.
That momentary confrontation allowed me to take a final portrait shot of its compound eyes before it dismissed me as a nuisance and flew into the night.
Some sharpening was applied via GIMP and using the "unsharp mask" filter to enhance the details of the compound eyes.
