📸📸CCS Contest..Eco-Lens Challenge. Beautiful photography of insects (stilt-legged fly). Week 2✅✅

How are you all, friends of Campaign Club Steemit? I hope you are all well. I am also well by the grace of Allah and your prayers. Friends, today I have come to you with a new photography post. I usually like photography very much. Whenever I see beautiful scenes and beautiful things in different places, I feel a great desire to do photography. My addiction is to do as many different types of beautiful photography as possible. The main purpose of which is to capture those beautiful photographs and share them with you. I especially love to do flower and nature photography. I will try to share beautiful photographs with you.

Name and Scientific Name:-

In my photography you can see a large stilt-legged fly. The name is Stilt-legged fly (Scientific Name: Dolichopodidae) is a small, but very beautiful and agile species of fly. These flies are usually 2–9 millimeters long and their most noticeable feature is their narrow, long legs or “stilt-legged” nature. Generally, the body of this fly is light green or metallic in color and the eyes are large and almost round. The sensitive body and leg structure of this fly gives them the ability to respond quickly to their environment, which is very effective in catching their prey.

Habitat:-

Stilt-legged flies are widespread on almost all continents of the world, but they mainly live well in warm and humid environments. They love this environment the most. Their favorite habitats are rainy areas, small water bodies, bird feathers and leaves, riverside mud and moist soil. They usually sit on the leaves of trees or on the banks of water bodies and search for prey or food.

Food:-

The diet of these flies is mainly small-sized animals, such as arthropod larvae, insects and various types of organic remains, which they feel comfortable eating. They meet their nutritional needs by hunting animal-like insects. Some stilt-legged flies live as larvae underground or in water as their larvae and grow there by eating small microbes and organic matter in the soil. Adult flies can run and fly quickly using their long legs, which gives them safety while hunting. This is because they can run very fast.

Life cycle:-

The life cycle of stilt-legged flies is divided into four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Female flies usually lay eggs on the underside of leaves or in moist soil. Larvae emerge from the eggs, which live underground or in water for a few days and feed. After the larval stage, it changes into a pupa, after which the adult fly emerges. The entire life cycle can last from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the weather and the amount of food.

Stilt-legged flies play an important role in maintaining the balance of the environment. They control small insects and maintain the health of soil and water bodies through various biological functions. And it is a very beneficial species for our environment. Observing these flies provides a lot of information about the natural environment and the food chain of small insects, which is important for environmental scientists. I collected the photographs with great difficulty. Anyway, I hope you like it.
