Title: Possibly the world's tiniest fly Written by: duddy on May 31, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_31_05_13_4_31_49.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=12389) In the forests of Costa Rica, a tiny insect has been found. Tinkerbella nana is a fairyfly that is only 250 micrometers long. It is one of the smallest arthropods ever discovered. How could they even find such a tiny creature? The researchers admit that it was not easy given the biodiversity of the forest. “It is possibly equivalent to finding a solitary needle in 200 haystacks,” Dr John Noyes notes.
