EDITORS COMMENTS
This studio shot showcases the intricate details of Musca autumnalis, also known as the face fly. As members of the Diptera order, face flies are true flies, belonging to the family Muscidae and the subfamily Muscinae. They are hexapods, meaning they have six legs, and are part of the larger class Invertebrata, which includes all animals without a backbone. Musca autumnalis are a common sight in autumn, particularly around livestock. Although they do not bite, they are still considered a bothersome pest. Their diet consists mainly of secretions from the eyes and nose of their hosts, making them a nuisance for cattle farmers and ranchers. Despite their pest status, the face fly's anatomy is a fascinating display of the intricacies of the arthropod world. In this image, we can observe the fly's hairy body, the delicate structure of its wings, and the complex compound eyes, which provide the insect with a wide field of vision. The swarming behavior of face flies is also a remarkable sight, with hundreds or even thousands of individuals gathering in a single area. As an invertebrate and an arthropod, the face fly plays an essential role in its ecosystem, contributing to the food chain and serving as a food source for various predators. This photograph offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this often overlooked creature.
