Another one from Sunday's escapade for the golden goodness. It's funny how on even the most bleak of days some things can still really shine.
There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Named from the similarity of their prominent proboscis that looks like the beak of a snipe. Adults can often be seen sitting on vegetation or on tree trunks waiting to catch and pounce on passing prey. Some species of snipe flies are hematophagous as adults and some are predatory of insects. Larvae develop as predators in the soil and wood detritus. Found in wet meadows, marshes and woodland margins. Can sometimes be know as the Down-Looker Fly as they have the habit of perching head-downward on tree trunks.
