Fly of the Genus Cosmina
On a green leaf stretching perfectly in the morning silence, I found a tiny creature standing gracefully on the tip of the leaf. At first glance, I fell in love. I immediately approached the tiny creature. Have you ever seen this tiny creature? Well, it's a beautiful fly from the genus Cosmina. And it's also a member of the Rhiniidae family.
Although known as a fly, this tiny creature is very different from the flies we often encounter everywhere. One example is the fly that likes to visit our homes. The fly I encountered this time wasn't interested in visiting other people's homes. It was more attracted to beautiful places, places filled with fresh plants and free from pollution.
This fly's coloration is very beautiful, emerald green combined with golden copper. The gradation of color blends beautifully with its fresh green surroundings. It's as if it were created specifically for this place. When the sunlight begins to shine on its body, its charm radiates beautifully. Her sparkling body looked like the first rays of sunlight touching the morning dew. It was truly beautiful.
What I love most about this fly is its calm demeanor. It's perfectly calm when I keep pointing the camera at it, at very close range. It's very calm, even though it occasionally touches a leaf gently. Perhaps it's inhaling the scent. Or perhaps it's trying to show off a different style. I don't know.

What a brave fly, most flies tend to fly away quickly whenever they Sense movements or sounds
Yes, it's true that most flies tend to shy away when approached. I was lucky to find this brave and calm one. Thanks for stopping by.

Como siempre, muy poética tu descripción del color verde esmeralda con cobre dorado. En tus imágenes se puede apreciar como brilla perfectamente bajo la luz del sol. Y su calma, es admirable. Esos momentos en los que la naturaleza se detiene para ti y te deja capturar su belleza definitivamente son los más especiales.
Gracias por compartir este hallazgo tan hermoso y por darnos una nueva perspectiva sobre estas, pequeñas criaturas. Saludos.👋
