Close up macro photography of a fly in my garden, I think it is a male of the species Protophormia terraenovae, but I'm more than open to correction on this (I'm not entomologist)!

*nods* I'm intrigued that the facets actually reflecting are themselves still arranged in a regular pattern, instead of, for example, a more rounded blob, or oval, of facets reflecting light towards the camera
