EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Phil McLean, we witness the incredible sight of a fearless Yellow Dungfly (Scathophaga stercoraria) taking a well-deserved rest on a vibrant leaf along the picturesque River Whiteadder in Berwickshire. This daring arthropod from the European Scottish wilderness proves that even insects need to unwind and enjoy nature's beauty. With its striking yellow body contrasting against the lush green foliage, our tiny protagonist stands out as an emblem of resilience and adaptability. Despite its peculiar name, this adult dungfly showcases elegance and grace while basking in the warm August sun. Its presence reminds us that every creature has its place within Britain's diverse wildlife tapestry. As summer envelops Scotland with its gentle embrace, these enchanting creatures emerge to play their vital role in maintaining ecological balance. The British countryside comes alive with buzzing activity as these industrious flies flit about their business. So let us take a moment to appreciate this remarkable photograph which encapsulates both the tranquility of River Whiteadder and the untamed spirit of Scottish borders' fauna. It serves as a delightful reminder that amidst our busy lives, there is always room for curiosity and wonderment at nature's smallest miracles – like witnessing an adventurous dungfly pausing for breath before continuing its airborne acrobatics!
