The leaf makes an extremely effective background.
Nicely caught!

So glad that you're back and posting again.
Hmmmm...if the flies are starting to be lethargic, I'm wondering about those awful stink beetles that are starting to hang around. Will have to see if they cooperate before they get sent to their death! Well, I'll most likely just put them outside, the ones that do manage to get indoors!
