As I mentioned before, the more I learn about macro photography, the more I know that I know nothing about the nature around me. I learn more and more about them whenever I try to find the fact about the images that I manage to capture.

And this yellow-colored fly is no exception because what I used to know is that most flies have green metallic color, and yet this one is almost totally yellow.

This is Phaonia pallida or orange muscid fly is mainly live in the northern part of the world, but then I find it here in almost in the lower part of the tropic.

What is more fascinating is that the latest stage of this fly larva is a carnivore eating on small insect. But when they turn into the fly they feed on the flower nectar. They have a sudden change on their diet. : ) source from wikipedia
