Nature Is Never Boring

Say what!? I thought aliens were supposed to be green? One of my stranger findings. New kind of fly for me. Experts said they are signal flies. Get their name from their wings which are in constant motion as though giving signals to aircraft. Lucky me to catch them in the one activity where they hold their wings still.
