crane fly on parsley

long-legged guest

My morning strolls in the garden have brought me and my camera lens in contact not only with snails and slugs, but also with long-legged insects called crane flies.

With each leg placed on a different parsley leaf, the insect seemed to enjoy its position and let itself be photographed without moving.

I have an abundance of parsley and no longer harvest from the plant in the photo, so I am not concerned about other creatures enjoying it.

The photo was shot in color with my iPhone and then converted to sepia (Lightroom preset Sepia Tone).
