Dolichopodidae Long Legged Fly
Today's photo is a long legged fly (Dolichopodidae sp.) These tiny flies can be found on flowers and foliage in the flowerbed. Their wings and bodies reflect a variety of metallic colors in the sunlight. You may notice a flash of green or orange as they move. They are especially bright in the early morning or late afternoon sun. This fly is smaller than a mosquito and can easily be overlooked.
