Close up of a tiny fly

This little critter, with a body about 1mm long, dropped dead on a windowsill.

This is a picture of the wing, at about 400x magnification. You can see the tiny hairs on the edge of the wing and all over it.

Here is the head and a leg - you can see the compound nature of the eye, plus hairs on the leg. Again at about 400x magnification.
