Bryan WrightThis little lance fly spent a long time tasting my fingers.

Colin PurringtonFound this Houdini fly (Cacoxenus indagator) lurking around one of my bee hotels today. They are kleptoparasites of mason bees (Osmia spp.) and are not native to North America. They are the number one reason why nesting tubes in my area (Pennsylvania) should be cleaned during the winter.

Bryan WrightLast Saturday was Insect Acrobatics day:* Crane flies like the one in this photo skimmed the creeks, bounced off the water and zoomed up to fight? mate? with each other.* Water striders grappled with each other on the creek, sometimes so enthusiastically that they'd flip into the air and splash back down.* Large carpenter bees visited tiny flowers that couldn't support them, dumping the bees on their butts.A swarm of midges around my hat were the spectators.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/flies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flies</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/diptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diptera</a>

Ashes and DustThere is a species of fly whose larvae live inside shed moose antlers.
