PhotoFeed Contest // Macro Photography Round 43

in PhotoFeed2 years ago


Hello Hivers

Hello friends, this time I am again participating in the macrophotography contest which has entered round 43, I have discovered a unique insect with an interesting shape and color, here are some pictures for my participation



Cylindromyia is the Latin name for this insect, it is a species of fly, but there are several things that make it a little different from ordinary flies

Small in size, oval body shape and similar to the body of an ant, long wings and eyes that resemble flies, the only thing that can characterize a fly is the style seen in the last picture, where he is rubbing his face with his forepaws, all the flies are doing their thing That



The afternoon sunlight that shines on it makes this fly even more interesting to look at, its eyes are shiny and the fine hairs on it are very unique, similar to thorns but they are the typical hairs of this type of insect.

The plant it sits on seems to be a favorite food for insects. I have found many types of insects eating the fruit of the plant, even though it can trap them in the sap on the plant, there are still lots of insects that still eat it.

This fly also seems to be sucking honey from the flowers of the plant, I didn't see it eating the fruit, but it always goes back and forth and lands on the same plant



Some time ago, I also found this animal, but because of its unique shape I still took a photo of it, the moment is of course not the same, even though it is the same type of animal, and that is the best picture I can share for this contest, thank you and see you again

Note; all pictures were taken with a smartphone camera and edited with lightrhoom + picsart
