Anybody has any idea of what this small thing is? It's much bigger and colorful than a mosquito. Can it be a gnat? An ichneumon?
Cheers

It's a Robber Fly ( Diptera, asilid family) They capture preys in flight and suck them dry.
Maybe you should have reframed the picture to make the fly bigger? Nice POV though.

Hi Bikram, and welcome to TN. This is indeed a robberfly as Phillipe said. It seems that everybody wants to have a mobile phone these days. :)

Well seen and taken.

Nice picture and unusual view. I guess it is an insect who wants to call somebody on the telephone!
