Nice composition!
A little flat for my taste in the middle tones.

I like this in many ways.
You've posted a number of insect images recently taken with E-1 and heavily
cropped. The particular granular pattern
from the E-1 and whatever processing you do often enhances the images in an
artistic way, adding an almost painterly
quality.
From a purely photographic technical standpoint, there are artifacts that
sometimes detract, to my eye. Here, that's
perhaps more troublesome than in others. For example, the lower part of the
back leg of the left fly is icky* to me. I
would blur it and a couple of other places a bit.
