for a moment, I thought this was a spider with wings..!!!..
The good book revealed that it is the Yam Fly..
..and the most interesting thing was it's relationship with black ants..
These ants behave like bodyguards, protecting the Yam Fly because they like feasting on the sugary substance that the larvae of the Yam Fly spills..:)....
So..whenever one sees a Yam Fly, there will be several large black ants forming a protective barrier around it..:)...
