When I first found this insect, I thought it was a bee. However, after searching for information about this insect on Google, I found out that it was actually a flower fly. This fly is very small and has a shape and color that closely resemble a bee, and it also has two very large compound eyes.
This flower fly also has behavior that is very similar to that of bees, as it helps pollinate plants. It is completely harmless to humans because it does not have a bite or a stinger. This is one of the small insects that I managed to capture well, and I also feel very happy because I was able to capture its beauty from several different angles.
I found this flower fly in my plantation, and its population is also relatively stable in my area, but it is often overlooked because of its very small size.

Just like most other flies in general, it is also known to be very wild and very agile, so it is not easy to capture its beauty.
Okay friends, now I will share some pictures of this flower fly here.
