Heimdall guarding Bifrost.

Or a little dolichopodid fly on a blade of grass. Depends on your point of view.

I don't know if I've posted this before, but here's a beautiful little Condylostylus for . This image is the desktop background of my work computer.

One thing I notice about this guy is the serrations on the leading edge of his wing. Are those for reducing turbulence? These flies are so intricate and beautiful!

A tiny, shiny Condylostylus has caught a much tinier fly for dinner.

Flies eat flies
Of smaller size.

We're doing for ? Yay! Here's a bluetiful dolichopodid fly! These guys are fun to watch. They're not very shy, and will come back to the same spot again and again. They're little predators who catch smaller flying insects.

A fly sits on a leaf, being beautiful.
See his beautiful jewel-like eyes!
See his long, elegant legs!
See the bristles leaping from his metallic back!
See his handsome sideburns!
See the serrated fore-edge of his iridescent wing!
See his graceful antennae!
View, and stand in awe!

A beautiful jewel-like (Condylostylus?). These love to pose for the camera. They'll flit away, then come back again and again.
