Stilt-Legged Fly Finds Breakfast

I was following a tiny stilt-legged fly as it ran around on elephant ear leaves until it finally stopped at a prize. The wind had blown a morsel of bread from someone feeding birds onto the one of the leaves. Jackpot! Scattered about are what appear to be several exuviae (insect shed skin).
