Feels like spring is here, finally seeing some flies and the ants are out too.

A fly stuck on my carnivorous plant

Great photos! :) I like how I can see the halteres under the fly's wing. The ants look good with the liquid too.

 
Great photos. I miss the sun. Best I can offer is daffodil bulbs sprouting forth and a few early plum blossoms. Moss and fall's leaves still cover the ground here. No diurnals except the occasional boxelder bug in a sunny moment.
