Hi to all!) I am at a loss... The photo was taken 08-28-09 in Moscow prov. (Russia). But... The fly showed no signs of life. When I blew on her, she did not move. And, as seen in the photo, she had tumid abdomen. What is this occurence? Natural death? Parasites? Comment it please. Nikolai Morozov attached the following image:  [124.37Kb] |

fUNGUS - Entomophthora muscae, a fungus that infects houseflies  and others. It seems a muscid fly.. |

Oh, that's it! It's very pitiful...  Now I'll know. Heh! Omnipresent fungi... OK, many thanks, Jorge! Nicolai. |
