That day on my usual preparation day at my workplace I have this uninvited guest into the kitchen area. At first I was not really paying attention to this little guy, since I was a little bit busy. I thought that it might flew away after sometime, so it was not worth it to go and take my camera to take the photos.
Apparently that was my lucky day, after I finished all my work, the uninvited guest was still there in the same place where I first saw it. Maybe he felt a little too comfort of the place so it decided to stay longer.
I think it was also because of the nature of this guest that is so brave so that it acted that way. This uninvited guest is a soldier fly, maybe attracted to the smell of the food in the kitchen area.
Since the fly was still in the place for sometime, and also I already have my free time. I make a good use of that opportunity to take photos of this flies. And it also quite patience to not be bothered with my presence.
It only moved a little bit from its initial resting place, the big shape of my flash diffuser was not bothering it too much so that it will fly away, but seems annoying enough to make it moved a little bit.
Still I was thankful for its patience to allow me to take several photos of it from a few different angle. It still there when I was called by my friend to help him with something. Since I already took quite a few photos, I then help my friend, thinking it might still be there when I returned. In which proven to be wrong.
