    Liked the electric colours. I would add some more space on right from left. The BG is nice and clean. Thanks for sharing.

    Lovely shot. Agree with Mrudul abt the compo. Nice BG.
    I guess they are not flies but bees of some kind because of their "hunchbacked" kind of posture, and the fact that they have congregated on something other than flesh.
    Not very sure abt the ID, but do check this out:
