-What does Range do? Range limits the value returned by Link and clamps the value to be between Max and Min. So let's leave the Min sub parameter as its default value (0.0). Now we need to handle the Link and Max values. The Max value should be defined by the pupil and the white circle. I don't like that the pupil bits the black contour so the pupil's origin must be limited by its radius and the white circle radius. If the pupil's radius is smaller, the pupil's origin can be closer to the white circle's radius. To do that we will convert the Radius to a Subtraction.

+First lets create the fly. In this case I've drawn three Region layers emulating the two wings and the body. Once created with the BLine Tool, encapsulate them into a Paste Canvas Layer. It is '''very important''' that the fly has to be centered on the paste canvas layer's origin. Once encapsulated the fly layers, the created Paste Paste Canvas layer's Origin is at (0,0) so you have to move the fly layers BLines to be around the Paste Canvas Layer origin. To do that select all the fly layers, select all the ducks and move them to where the Paste Canvas Layer Origin parameter is (normally at (0,0)). Once done you can select only the Paste Canvas Layer and move it around by dragging its Origin's duck.
-Then create the Eye. To create it I simply create three Circle Layers: One black in the background (countour of the eyeball), one white in the middle (white eyeball) slightly smaller than the black one, and one smaller black for the pupil. Once created place them in that order and below the fly paste canvas layer.

 Add a Solid Color layer for the background and move it down to the bottom.
