Thumbi.. This is a common fly that is found in the parts of Kerala. In the local language, it is called "Thumbi". Usually, the fly is seen just after the rains to enjoy the warmth of the Sun. This is why the Onam season of Kerala also marks the arrival of this fly in the court-yards and among the bushes. They are seen in abundance during that season. Click/tap to enlarge

    1. The camera is detected by the system. What would be more interesting to know is where the photo was taken and what species it is. A more meaningful title and description would be appreciated. Check out our photo sharing tutorial for more information:
