    The eye symmetry and shape makes this fly unique on this otherwise ordinary looking fly. I also like the short stubby antennae. Posted 3 years ago

      Thanks William! I really wish it had stayed still longer so I could have gotten some more (and better focused) shots, though. But, I'm happy to have seen it and it was a first for me! Posted 3 years ago
