This is a leaf fly that I managed to find on one of the plants in front of my house. This fly is relatively small, and the most noticeable part of its body is its two large compound eyes, which are bright red in color. Its two wings are brown and transparent, while the black coloration on its body also looks very unique.
When I found this fly, I became excited to capture its beauty, and so that every detail of this fly could be seen clearly, I decided to photograph it using the help of a macro lens.
Although this tiny insect is not physically dangerous to humans at all, we still should not play with it or try to catch it, because this fly can carry various types of diseases or harmful bacteria. This particular fly also likes to live in dirty places, such as sewage areas, garbage bins, or animal waste.
Flies are very fast insects, and luckily, I managed to capture several pictures of this particular fly at that moment.
Alright everyone, now I’m going to share some pictures of this fly here.
