The sun began to shine brightly, the atmosphere began to heat up, even though it was still very early in the morning. It has been very hot where I live for several days. It's still morning and I'm already sweating. Even so, I still have the same commitment, which is to take a moment to be in nature before doing other main activities. Well, on this bright day I managed to find a beautiful fly from the genus Cosmina.

I found the fly standing gracefully on a green leaf. Its color is very beautiful, shiny green. When the sun shines on its body, the fly is like a living emerald, truly amazing. On its back there is a golden sheen that blends harmoniously with the metallic green color that can only be created by nature. Its transparent wings are no less interesting, decorated with characteristic black lines.

A pair of large reddish brown eyes seem ready to monitor the entire world. Its tiny antennae are similar to headsets, as if it is standing there listening to music under the hot sun. Its slender legs make its appearance more attractive.
