Yellow-spotted falsehorn (Temnostoma daochus) hover fly trying on her Halloween costume: a scary wasp with long antennae. (photo from April 2021)
#flyfriday #flyday #diptera #bugsky #insects

Side view of Insect on a leaf. Insect has wasp-like yellow and black striped body, large dark eyes, and blobbish mouthparts extended down to surface of leaf. She is holding her forelegs straight out to either side of her face, so that their long dark ends look a bit like antennae. Her actual antennae are little yellow paddles with wispy extensions.

This Yellow-faced Blowfly paused for about 30 seconds before zooming off to do whatever it is they they do (probably best not knowing..)

Een ukkie, deze Coenosia agromyzina, mogelijk dat de soort daardoor niet zo veel op waarneming.nl wordt geregistreerd. Ze jagen o.a. op kleine muggen. Larven parasiteren op kleine regenwormen. #diptera

Phaonia rufiventris bewijst hier even dat niet elke vlieg zwart en harig is. Deze is voornamelijk rood en harig. De larven ontwikkelen zich voornamelijk in paddenstoelen, lees ik op de geweldige Flickr site van Steven Falk: www.flickr.com/photos/63075... #diptera #ElkeDagEenInsect

A Butterbutt Fly for #flyday, Belvosia borealis, a Tachinid that parasitizes Ceratomia hawk moths. #insects #diptera #gardening 🌱 #bugsky

A large bristly black fly with two prominent yellow bands on the end of its abdomen sits on a passiflora leaf.

Another view of the Butterbutt fly from the butt end. The yellow bands on the abdomen have a greenish iridescence and a row of black spiky bristles between them, also the fly has yellow feet which I think are kinda cute for some reason. Oklahoma Northern Crosstimbers ecoregion 29a.

De Snorzweefvlieg - vroeger Pyjamazweefvlieg - heet in het Engels Marmalade hoverfly, verwijzend naar die dwarsstreepjes op het achterlijf. Een deel migreert in de winter naar het zuiden. Dit is een mannetje: ogen tegen elkaar aangegroeid, om vrouwtjes beter te spotten. #diptera #ElkeDagEenInsect

Twee verwanten: Phaonia trimaculata (vrouw) en Phaonia Tuguriorum (man). De eerste is een stuk schaarser, larven parasiteren op o.a. de larven van de Koolvlieg (Delia radicum), de tweede is het hele jaar door te zien, parasiteert op emelten (larven van langpootmuggen). #diptera #ElkeDagEenInsect

Several individuals of the long-legged fly, Liancalus virens, on the wall of a house in Sutherland yesterday #Diptera

A fly, resting in silhouette on the white wall of a house, with a striped metallic red-green thorax with long legs and wings fully closed with a single white spot at the wing tips indicating that it is a male

A fly resting in silhouette on the white wall of a house but with its wings slightly separate so that two white dots are visible at its wing tips, one on each wing, indicating that it is a male

A fly, resting in silhouette on the white wall of a house, with plain ends to its wingtips - so no white spots - indicating that it is a female
