It's just the perspective of the shot that suggests an unusual habitat.
No, it was not growing on deadwood ;)
Thanks for confirming, gully.moy

Thank you. Yea, that much was clear, injica - these flies are called "Schnabelfliegen" in German, which simply means "beak flies".
But that's just the order...
Probably the Bittacidae family?

Thanks Despina and injica

Thanks, Tiz - I am going to look that up.

Thx for suggestion, injica - and thx for the re-welcome, Leuba...nice to meet you back again :D

Thanks Mark :)

Could be much sharper and closer with a 100 mm macro :D
But thank you for appreciation :)

Thanks, Chun - actually I never stopped spotting and shooting ;)
I just stopped to upload here, waiting for improvement.
I felt today like giving it a try again - and see if and what changed...

Lens was a Nikkor 40 mm macro AF-S DX (on Nikon D3200)

Thank you, Syed
