Fly on Mushroom – Yum!
With the afternoon sun streaming through the trees, and after a few days rain, the mushrooms had pushed their way through the settled soil and grass. Not a lot of them, but enough to notice. And some bugs noticed too.
This fellow had commandeered the cap of this one and was chasing any intruders off with a virtuosity, perfect flight control. It is a pleasure to watch such mastery of the wing at work and play.
Have you ever seen bugs at play? Have you noticed they do?

Bugs are not the dumb creatures they are often taken for. They do have their own simple intelligence, according to their form and function. Not unlike us people. They sense, and in their way they know what they need to know.
Chase off that intruder. Need for a pee or a poo. Time to eat or sleep. And time to mate. And die, just like us.
And there is always that ‘something else’ that may emerge. A little creativity perhaps. A little god. Just like us.
In a flash of colour and form, or graceful dance. A little beauty.
Just like us.

Unlike us they don’t have or make a problem of any of it.
Intelligent little bugs.

Thank you Nadia.
i saw a brown fly like this before but i noticed that we’re came from different town/region/country (maybe). So i realize that this kind of fly is different from what i saw before. Anyhow Mark, your beautiful picture of fly make me say WOWWWWWWWWWWWW
i conclude it…wonderful
Thanks Jamyun. Who is to say it is not the same kind? Nature, as with human nature, is everywhere. And like ideas, the same can occur on opposite sides of the world.
Mark beautiful capture as always, never seen a brown fly before. And you know I wish I had those bug senses. I always knew that not just bugs, or us, but even plants have their own intelligence preprogrammed. How it all evolved, it will always be mystery. Thanks for nice post Mark. Anna :)
Thanks Anna. There is intelligence in all things and it evolves through pain, ‘won’t do that again’, ‘until next time’. (:
Thanks Colognelia
Not just your photos are a joy and pleasure, but your words too! Bow!
