Today the weather is cloudy and accompanied by drizzle, but that doesn't stop me from walking in the open nature. It's just that I didn't do it at the usual time, the air was too cold. I left a bit late but the atmosphere still felt like it was very early in the morning, the sun had not yet risen and the air was still cold.

I kept walking while glancing left and right to find something to capture. Suddenly my eyes glanced at someone who was dancing on a green leaf there. He was a Stilt-Legged Fly, one of the tiny and long-legged insects from the Micropezidae family.

He was very agile in doing his dance, he danced like a professional dancer on the emerald stage. His long and slender legs looked very supportive of his profession as a dancer. Not only his legs were moved, but his two antennae also played along which looked like soft, regular and rhythmic drum beats.
