FLY

I was amazed by this fly that settled on this piece of fried chicken left over from my lunch on 13 May 10.

It's interesting how it kept sticking its proboscis right into the food to extract whatever juices etc it can get. If left alone, it would probably lie a brood of eggs if it was a female. Do we call it a brood?

The segmented abdomen did look kind of disgusting though.
