Sorry there wasn’t a bug of the day yesterday, I ran out of steam and couldn’t get an image edited before I fell asleep! Here’s today’s:

What’s this you say? A graphical representation of a fly? Well today I’m looking for one of the families that this fly could be based on the head morphology (I’m giving you a break since the wing veination isn’t really visible). I’ll give 5 points to each correct family name (scientific or common). Have fun, and spelling counts!

  1. Oh I hope you find one, I would love to see one alive! Diopsidae, Stalk-eyed flies

  2. It could also be one of the stalk-eyed signal flies (family Platystomatidae).

    Yeah, points for me!
