Loved the title, very witty!
Interesting, they do it doggy style huh?
You're one hell of a photographer, I so enjoyed the other pictures on your blog!
I love the macro monday of the eyes of the fly 18 May and those here are making more so we can take more photos of them (Me that killed 2 in one),
Maria Berg, Sweden
Good eye to get this shot! :-)
Yep, I guess we can count on there being more of them, can't we?
Now that is something you don't see everyday!!!
Great photo ... nifty title too ;--)

Hi Jama,
Thanks a lot!
Hi Tom,
Thanks! I enjoyed your bird blog and have added you to my blogroll.
Hi OC,
Thank you!
Hi Sach,
All I can say about its ID at this moment is that it is a true fly or a Dipteran.
Hi Jientje,
Thanks! Yes, but remember that flies appeared on this earth millions of years before the dogs!
Hi Maria,
Thanks! I will join you one day in doing two memes. Have a good week!
Hi June,
Good to hear from you this June. It was so small and at first glance it didn't appear as two together.
Hi YETG,
Yes we can!
Hi Michelle,
