User's notes
I had no idea what I was photographing when I took this picture, my eyesitght is not that good, especially at night on Red Hill Nauture Reserve when I am using the illumination from a head lamp and my flash. Even when I cropped in I was not sure what it was, but then I noticed the very small Freeloader Flies, at least four, feeding on the remains of an insect in an old spider web.
