A common fly, which many of us probably see every day. The picture is very clear and every part of the fly is clearly visible when taken close-up.

We often see fliesannoying insects. We try chase them away soon they enter the house. They contribute to cleanliness by eating dead and rotten things in particular.
The fly in picture is a housefly, whose scientific name Musca domestica. This species of fly is found in almost all countries and their life cycle very fast.It does not take long for the eggs hatch—small larvae worms emerge within just 24 hours. Then, within a few days, they turn into adult flies.
The picture shows the fly standing still on the leaf with its small legs. Flies' legs are very sensitive. They have taste buds on their feet, which allow them taste food before they recognize it. The fly may have been checking out its surroundings resting while sitting on the leaf.
The eyes flies are very large and pinkish-orange in color.This allows flies to see many things at once. Thats why they are so difficult catch—they can fly away quickly because they can see hands objects coming from our direction in advance.
The structure of the leaves is also beautifully displayed in the background the picture.The black and gray fly on the green leaf seems to have created a perfect harmony with the colors nature.
In our daily lives, we see many small animals that we do not pay attention get annoyed by. But they are all important for the environment. Without insects like flies, a lot organic waste would accumulate, diseases would spread more, and pollination would also be lacking.
This picture reminds us that every animal in nature, whether big small, lives with its own importance. Their lives are as beautiful and complex as ours. So lets not just get bored and look at these animals a little closer, understand them, and love nature.
A moment in the picture has been captured on camera that may happen every day, but we do not see notice it with our eyes. When we think about such an ordinary fly like this, nature seems even more wonderful.
