Have you ever seen something that struck you as really odd? This little fly did just that the other day. I noticed it in the bay window in the back of my classroom. I have a table back there with lots of plants and often I spill a little when I water them. That fly must have been really really thirsty because it stayed near those little droplets for over 40 minutes. It would suck up a drop and then move on to the next one. Even with me crouching overhead to get close-up pictures - it didn't so much as flinch. I've never seen a fly behave that way before. Have you?
Nope. Never seen that!
ReplyDeleteNever seen it ... but wish I had! Neat photo :-)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a fly staying in one place like that - great pic, maybe he wanted his picture taken, lol!
ReplyDeleteIt might be late-season grogginess. The flies that somehow always get into the church building get really lazy about this time. Maybe your fly is an old man ready for retirement whose arthritis is acting up now that it's getting colder. :)
ReplyDeleteNever seen a fly act like that! Maybe he just wants to be your student and was on his best behavior! :)
ReplyDeletewow! great capture!
ReplyDeleteOur flies are slow and sticky this time of year.... but you are ultra cool and photograph them, whilst I get out the flyswatter....
