This one is way cool. I find it very appealing. I can't put my finger on it, but it is rich.

Oh, now I get it. I like the name Granny Smith better for the fly. Great fly regardless of the name though, Hans!

That's my Mom!
Well she is to my kids, we just don't call her that to her face.
Very nice juicy looking grub you have tied up there Hans, not unlike its namesake apple at all.
