Flower Fly (Allograpta) I am not 100% on the ID of this little one and unfortunately did not get a shot of the rest of its body which would have helped. Possibly A. fuscotibialis, but I am really not sure. I will keep an eye out for it and try to get a photo of the other end. Little thing is only about 8-10mm long with a wingspan 15mm ish Geotagged,South Africa,Winter,africa,allograpta,flies,flower flies,insects,south africa Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

        Please don't take "pilot fly" as a hint for identification, I made it up, because it has such large eyes :) Posted 11 years ago
