Field Notes
Description:
A metallic green Long-legged Fly eating a smaller insect.
Habitat:
Local botanical gardens.
Notes:
The metallic Long-legged Fly is fast and friendly, choosing annoying insects for a meal instead of human food scraps. It feeds on smaller insects like aphids, mites, gnats, beetle larva and smaller flies. This makes it a beneficial insect because it removes plant-harming bugs.
