The eyes are amazing, are they supposed to be like that or is that some hideous disease?

Thanks Tiger, Tim & Pentaxophile !

I just love insects that have compound eyes - they are always my point of focus (excuse the pun).

This shot of a commonly found garden fly was with the Tamron 90 & a x2 Macro TC, on Velbon rail and 4 shots stacked to get the DoF in the eyes. And yes, the eyes are supposed to be like that Tim !
