Getting two Condylostylus mundus flies in focus in the same shot is probably some sort of achievement unlocked idk

This Yellow Columbine has bright yellow flowers and stamens with long, paler spurs. A small gold and green Condylostylus fly rests on the petal of this lovely flower.

I offset the fly to one side in this photo to leave room for any motivational prose you wish to add.

Maybe Condylostylus sipho a type of Long-legged Fly. It was certainly colorful. Makes me wish I had a *really* good macro camera.

Just look at these two. No common name, "Very Nice fly" seems fitting. Condylostylus caudatus in my garden. #bugsky

A long-legged fly (Condylostylus sp.) perched on a leaf and facing left of frame. They are really iridescent with lots of greens, reds, and yellows reflecting everywhere. Their eyes are bright red and wings are also iridescent. Their legs are indeed long, relative to the rest of their body.

Friday #FlyDay - here's a long-legged fly, I think Condylostylus sp., in Tennessee. Most species of these lightning-quick, tiny, colorful flies are predators of other small insects. #insects 🐙 🌿
