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

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.

For #flyfriday - paratypes of Machimus cowini - the Manx robberfly seen here in the Manx Museum entomology collections

The Manx robberfly was 1st discovered on the Isle of Man in the 1940s but has since been found else where but not ‘across’ (eg UK) as they say here.

Happy #flyfriday! This is a soldier fly of genus Psellidotus. Some flies in that genus have really surprising mint-green coloration, but this one is a bit more sedate. I’ve only found these a handful of times over the years. From May 2023.

Fly on a carpet of small white flowers. Fly is mostly black with pale green patches, has a fairly wasp-shaped body, has some yellow pollen on belly and legs.

Happy #Flyday! Here is a little black Lauxanid fly, I believe genus Xenochaetina, from back in April when they were all over the place.

Fly with shiny black body, short sparse hairs, yellowish wings folded over body, medium sized red eyes, short orange antenna. Kind of hunched over on a green leaf.

Don’t worry little soldier fly, I’ll keep the Jorō spider webs out of the yard!

Microchrysa flaviventris female. Looking closely at wing venation the discal cell is partially open in this species.

Top view of metallic green fly on a wooden compost bin, legs are yellow, eyes are large but do touch, small brownish antennae, abdomen only slightly wider than head and thorax, rather transparent wings.
