A fly on stilts....
Flies of the Family Micropezidae are commonly known as the stilt-legged flies because their middle and hind legs are unusually long.
There are about 500 species of them, ranging between a minute 3 mm (0.1 in) and an impressive 2 cm (0.8 in) in length.
They're found all over the world, though more commonly in the tropics. Also there are none at all in New Zealand.
