EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by Bob Gibbons, we witness the extraordinary dining habits of a Flesh-fly. Known for its peculiar reproductive process, this cunning insect lays live larvae instead of eggs. But let's not focus on their unconventional family planning; it's all about their insatiable appetite! Here we see our star fly perched delicately on a succulent piece of fruit, ready to indulge in an exquisite meal fit for royalty. With its vibrant colors and tantalizing aroma, this fruity feast has attracted the attention of our discerning diner. As the Flesh-fly dives headfirst into this culinary adventure, one can almost hear its tiny taste buds rejoicing with every delectable bite. Its delicate proboscis gracefully sips nectar from within while leaving behind traces of pollen—a true connoisseur's touch! But don't be fooled by its refined manners; beneath that elegant exterior lies an adventurous spirit! This fearless flyer hails from Dorset in the West Country, United Kingdom—proof that even insects have wanderlust. So next time you stumble upon a humble fruit platter or catch sight of these remarkable creatures buzzing around your garden, take a moment to appreciate nature's quirky wonders. After all, who knew that something as simple as feeding could become such an epicurean delight for our charming flesh-flies?
