Hi...nice flies...you might want to try using a slate grey/ light blue background...leave the fly in the vice and use a back drop.....I do a ton of photography for my wife's eBay business and learned that you really have to experiment. I am not a photographer so I make a lot of mistakes.....that is why I love digital.....erase and start over...LOL

1. lt. blue / gray background (posterboard, etc.)
2. NO Flash
3. 2-3 other light sources (different angles)
4. MACRO mode if your camera has one
5. Use a shutter cable if your camera has that feature and mount the camera (tripod, etc.)
