Possible Picture-winged Fly

Post by NikonUser »

Image

This 4mm fly has generated a lot of technique discussion
SEE HERE
so I thought an image of the live fly was justified.
This may be a picture-winged fly (Fam: Ulidiidae) from North America.

” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”

A very good full body shot and I love that background for some reason. It seems to work well with the fly.
