| Nemopoda nitidula | July 16 2025 | Buket Alue Puteh, Aceh, Indonesia |
Hi everyone, Today I want to show you some photos of species I found while exploring the forest around my house. The species I found this time is quite unique, with its small and slender body size, but it has a special side when observed. Have you ever found them in the wild? Or is this species already familiar to you?
This is "Nemopoda nitidula" which is a species of small fly belonging to the sepsidae family that attracts the attention of nature observers because of its distinctive behavior and unique appearance, as you can see in the picture they have a very small size when compared to other adult flies, they are often found in cool forests with shady weather and no direct sunlight, so if you have the desire to find them then surfing the forest in your city is the best solution.
try to pay close attention where you will find their uniqueness when playing their two front legs, and occasionally it is like a monkey performing an attraction in a circus cage, when I found them I really enjoyed this attraction and did not make the slightest movement so that they would not feel threatened and fly away, so I tried my best to be calm and occasionally tried to regulate my breathing because I had to squat to be able to enjoy them.
