Cylindromyia intermedia

On the surface of a soft green leaf, a beautiful fly stands gracefully. Its charm is full of authority. In Latin, this fly is known as Cylindromyia intermedia, a beautiful fly from the Tachinidae family. This fly is slightly different from the flies we often encounter. This fly dislikes dirty places like trash cans, carcasses, and so on. Instead, it prefers clean places like fresh grass. It even likes flowers.

Its costume is beautiful and striking. Its body is gray, black, and reddish brown. The beautiful combination of colors and contrasts creates a captivating pattern, like a natural gem. It's as if nature painted it directly to be displayed on a delicate scale, visible only to the eye that pauses to appreciate it. Its slender, strong legs grip the leaf it rests on. Its long legs add to its elegance.

These kinds of flies are quite fast and fly away immediately, so you have made this picture with a lot of effort.
