It might be the first and the last

This bee looking fly just didn't give me enough time to take more photo so that I can share the beauty of its shape and the color to all of you here on Hive.

I really love the color pattern that this fly has, so beautiful with yellow and black colors can be seen.

The pattern on its eyes is also beautiful, if only I can get more photo to share to show the beauty of this fly, that can be awesome, but this fly has another idea in mind, so that it only gave me the chance to take only one shot.

This little guy is most likely Chrysops caecutiens. Chrysops caecutiens, common name splayed deer fly, is a species of horse fly belonging to the family Tabanidae. It is also known by the colloquial name Scotch cleg.. Although the fact this species is present in most of Europe, makes me daubt that, but who knows that this spicies has migrated that far from Europe to Indonesia.

Oh gosh, I definitely love the shot! And the clarity of the subject in the photo? Superb! There's really something captivating in macro photography. Small details can be highlighted with the right angle, good shot, and right setting. I agree though, that insects can be hard to photograph especially if they tend to move around. You better have a fast hand and a great focus to have the best shot.

Sepertinya sejenis lalat om, soalnya ga punya mulut yang bisa ngunyah om.
waktu ini sempet kena sengatnya, ada wasp yang kecil, beh rasanya lumayan aduhai.

same question, but I think it is through cargo ship, or voyage from one island to the other.
but it is very interesting on how so many insects and plant got transversed across nations and continent

That'll be a very long migration then, perhaps it's on a very important mission sent by the colony?

Amazing detailed shot :)
