Leucopis

Leucopis are small, delicate insects that are often found in gardens and fields. They help keep plants healthy by eating tiny pests that can harm them.

外見

The Leucopis is a tiny fly, often sporting a distinctive silvery-grey body with dark spots on its abdomen. It has clear wings and pale, delicate legs, making it appear almost ghostly. Its small size and muted colors help it blend into its plant-filled environment, differentiating it from larger, more brightly colored flies.
