This tiny fly I am not sure what it's scientific name is, but because of the awesome colouration, I called it a jewel fly. The flies back is a rainbow of metallic colours which doesn't exactly make it camouflage well. This fly is about the size of 3 pin heads. Photo is a bit blurred because the leaf moved in a light breeze.
