When I was cleaning the water apple tree next to my house, I also managed to find a very unique fly, if you look at its shape, this fly looks the same as flies in general, but try to look at it in terms of color, this fly has a very beautiful color, namely orange, even from a distance I thought this was a bee, and I was so surprised when I realized that this was a fly. In my area this fly is often called a fruit fly, I don't know whether this fly has a dirty nature like other flies or not, but what is certain is that this fly often spends its time on plants and eats rotten fruits. It is very difficult to approach this fly, it is very fast and agile and photographing it becomes a very difficult and annoying thing.

But I persisted in trying to photograph this particular fly, and after several attempts, I finally succeeded. I also managed to capture it using a macro lens.
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some images of this fly here.
