A Fly Resting on a Leaf
A housefly rests on the surface of a broad, flat leaf, seen directly from above. Its prominent compound eyes, short antennae, and broad pair of wings remain still as it alights in a garden setting.
Fascinating Facts About Flies
Flies often land on foliage to absorb warmth from sunlight, which helps regulate their body temperature. Their broad wings can beat over two hundred times per second, allowing them to take off instantly if disturbed. Special pads on their feet allow them to cling effortlessly to smooth leaf surfaces.
