Most beautiful fly ever! This was around my passion flower vine. He moves quite fast so capturing a photo was not easy.

#AMomentinNature was noticing this tiny, iridescent blue fly on a forked bluecurls (Trichostema dichotomum) leaf. It's probably a Glossy Blue Fly (Condylostylus mundus).

Small, and excellent condylostylus fly, beneficial aphid-eater, and cute as an iridescent button, available in many shades from yellow through purple. 😻🖖🏼🤓

That’s a long legged fly- specifically Condylostylus occidentalis- and they’re actually beneficial because they eat aphids and mites.
The damage to your beans looks more like Japanese beetles or something similar.

Happy #flyfriday! Long-legged fly, genus Condylostylus, Black Rock Forest NY last week. These are super common but it’s nice to stop and see how cool they look.

It's not the best picture since they flew off half a second after I took it, but here's the buggie in question!
I believe they're a condylostylus caudatus, a long legged fly. Or maybe a related species? I based the art off that species.

I missed be nice to bugs day, but honestly, every day should be so I'm posting this lil guy anyways 💜
I saw one of these beautiful flies outside a couple days back and decided to draw them! The metallic rainbow shine of their body was stunning.

i rescued this dolichophorid fly (maybe Condylostylus?) from drowning in a dog bowl, and look at the ridiculous way theyre drying their wings

Green lacewing larvae, Chrysoperla sp on daisy fleabane. Voracious predators of aphids, this one cleared the plant up fast. At this point I don't think there are any more aphids. Probably not just due to this one larvae. There's also hoverflies, ladybugs, and Condylostylus.

This fly is so green!

I started following a gardener in my area, and they post lots of pictures of insects they find among the native plants. It has raised my appreciation for and ability to notice details about insects.

Long-legged fly, Condylostylus sp. Colorful and common, these flies are like metallic jewels. They commonly rest on leaves like this one does. They are predatory, feeding of soft bodied invertebrates such as aphids.

How is one to learn anything about the #flies hanging out on my sunflower plants when this is the “information" at my disposal. Abysmal.

@flygirlnhm.bsky.social where else can @inaturalist.bsky.social draw from and/or how does @wikipedia.org get better?
