Ouch! The Cleg Fly's Bold Attempt at a Handshake Turns Painful in Powys, Wales!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious yet slightly painful encounter, a brave Cleg Fly decided to take its chances and bite into a human hand during a sunny day in Powys, Wales. Caught on camera by the talented photographer Richard Becker from FLPA Images, this print perfectly captures the unexpected moment. The fearless insect, scientifically known as Haematopota pluvialis, showcases its determination to make an impression with its unique handshake technique. However, it seems that biting instead of shaking hands might not be the best way to win friends! As summer fills the air with warmth and buzzing insects become more active across Britain's beautiful landscapes, encounters like these remind us of nature's quirky sense of humor. While humans may find themselves on the receiving end of some unwanted attention from arthropods like cleg flies or horseflies (also known as tabanidae), we can't help but appreciate their audacity. So next time you're out enjoying nature in Europe or exploring the picturesque Welsh countryside in Cymru (Wales), keep an eye out for these adventurous creatures looking for their next meal. And remember to always extend your hand cautiously when meeting new insect acquaintances – you never know who might mistake your friendly gesture for an invitation to lunch!
