It has only rained twice this month. We finally had a fair amount last night. I have seen a lot of long-legged flies this summer. I cannot resist photographing them. They have a ton of character. Can flies have character? I don't know, but these ones seem to. They are very beneficial to the garden. They eat a lot of different pests like aphids, spider mites, and even other flies. They also prefer to stay outdoors, so it is unlikely to find them in your home.
Fav. Great little insect among the beautiful droplets Fabulous close-up. We haven't had rain, probably since April. Thank God we have reverse osmosis plants to filter sea water and make it potable , besides good for irrigation and many other household chores.
