What you are seeing now are two long-legged flies mating on the leaves, I really like this insect because it has a unique shape, this fly has very long legs and has a very different shape from other flies in general, and if we want to find this fly then we can look for it in the forest or in the plantation because of its nature that likes to play on plants and grass. I don't know what the main food of this fly is but what is certain is that I often find this fly during the rainy season. This is a flying insect and photographing it is not easy, this fly is very sensitive to the slightest movement so it will immediately fly away when it feels threatened, I managed to photograph this fly when it was perched on wild leaves and what's more interesting is that I managed to photograph it using the help of a macro lens, so that every detail of this fly can be seen clearly from its shape to its color.

Okay friends, now I will share some pictures of two long-legged flies mating on leaves.
