[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a very small fly, you can compare the size of the insect with the straw of the juice, it could easily use it as a home :)

We like very much to look at the interactions of our presence when we go to the forest. Only one sandwich and a pineapple juice is enough to receive the visit of a lot of opportunists, which seem to have special sensors to detect the presence of food.

This one arrived as soon as I had my first drink, and as you can see it did not spend much time to discover where the delicious nectar came from.
As you can imagine, after I saw Cris captures in the camera LCD, I decided to finish my juice without the straw :D

Hope you like!

bonjour felipe
je ne sais pas lequel des deux et le plus opportuniste,la mouche car elle profite de la paille pour ce desalterer ou bien vous qui avez su profiter de cette situation?
en tout cas vous avez bien fait les trois vues sont bien realisées,surtout si l'on tien compte de la petite taille de cette mouche.
bravo.
laurent

Fantástico y oportuno tú también...con esta nitidez que te caracteriza, sacas a la luz estos fabulosos detalles.
Buena ejecución y original PoV.
Un cálido saludo amigo, JL.

Hi

Great set of shots. I love the irridescent colours on the wings. Good capture of the natural curiosity of the fly. Sharp, excellent colours, great POVs and good DOF on all of them

Dear Felipe!
It's me agin ;) And again I can see a very nice presenatation (and very funny too :>)
I like the title - it was a very good idea to choose it for such presentation. This fly (like many others) is the true opportunist :)
TFS and best regards,
Radomir

Very beautiful series of images Felipe and Cristina.
Just love the clarity, details and crisp colors of the straw.
A real joy to look at this series and to see how a small fly like this is working to get some sugar from and out of the straw.
Thanks for sharing.
Kindest regards, Harry

Hi Felipe & Cristina,
