Continuing #flyweek with what I think is a Zodion sp. Found it completely still on a leaf. Likely a bee parasite.

i like flies too! #FlyWeek

sometimes I actually get rather obsessed with photographing them, looking only for flies

here's a cool Mydas fly, evolved to mimic a tarantula hawk, from our local San Diego deserts

Hello new followers, in addition to birds I spend the warmer months chasing bugs. Here is a fun one for #FlyWeek, a stalk-eyed fly found in the Ecuadorian cloud forest.
(Richardia stylops), El Septimo Paraiso Lodge, Ecuador
A fly with a blue abdomen, yellow thorax, head, and legs, red eyes, and clear wings with black markings. It has a hammerhead shaped head with red eyes at the ends of eye stalks. The fly is standing on the underside of a leaf.
