Mini Drone?

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Strange happenings in the insect world. Yesterday, I saw this fly sitting on a flower with a hoverfly just above it:

The top fly kept its position very accurately:

When the larger fly moved, the hoverfly went with it, keeping the exact same distance overhead:

This went on for some time, moving from flower to flower:

Maybe it is on flower patrol, maybe it is performing a weird mating ritual, but it is far more likely the top one is a secret, self-learning CIA drone studying and emulating insect behaviour for camouflage and cover.

What dou you think?

Sort:  

How strange @ocrdu. shows what I know about insects though. I thought they were wasps! 😂

Excellent photography!

Well, in your defence, they do try to look like wasps.

There you go then @ocrdu. Job done from their perspective! 😁

WOW! Really amazing! It's great that you can notice them and take photos of them in time....

In the meantime, I like the white flowers, really beautiful

Great shot! ;)

You're welcome! ;)

I think you are exactly right and that is blatantly a CIA drone

Ha! I'll go with the conspiracy theory.

Absolutely stunning shots, with beautiful bokeh. I've never seen anything quite like it!

Tip!

Thank you!

CIA it is then.
