Long-legged Flies - The One Fly Everyone Should Like

[@Millenialhermit]

Many species of flies are actually beneficial and they outnumber the bad ones. Hoverfly for example is a favorite insect of many, as they control pest and pollinate at the same time! ( plus they are pretty). Black Soldier flies may not be a glamorous pollinator or a valiant predator but they are an excellent recycler, turning the world's food waste into useful fertilizers and protein for livestocks

I’ve tried to get some Hoverfly footage very recently twice and both times they flew right off even while I was moving extremely slow. They’re very apprehensive

An interesting fact about these flies is that they have the fastest reaction speed in the animal kingdom. They can perceive threats in about 5 milliseconds.
