This Gray Hairstreak (Strymon melinus) carries a battle-scar, proving its brilliant tail decoy system successfully averted a fatal predator strike. A true survivor!

Long-legged fly (Dolichopodidae) β€” these tiny metallic flies are part of a family with ~280 genera and over 7,000 known species worldwide. They’re incredibly diverse, and often can’t be confidently identified beyond family without a microscope.
