Found a fly infected with some sort of fungus. I think the victim might be a midge (Chaoborus punctipennis?). Media, PA, USA. #fly #diptera #insects #entomology #fungi #fungus #mycology #nature #FlyDay #FungiFriday

This looks to be a native black-shouldered drone fly (Eristalis dimidiata suggests the ID app) atop a native evening primrose along the #IowaRiverTrail. Black-shouldered are a species of hoverfly and in addition to the bee-like colors/patterns this species is roughly the size of a bee or a small bumblebee.

B's Creative Life 🌈 🎃

Just witnessed a fly regain consciousness.

It was in the concrete stairwell and was still for 3 minutes on it's back in the death position. I was considering it for my school insect collection when the legs twitched.

Two more minutes of nothing, then the fly wiggle pops to it's feet. It sits there for a couple more minutes, then wanders off on foot.

What a bizarre observation.

"Why are you still clinging on? *How* are you still up there?"
"I love #flying, I was born to #fly. And my #friends here? They #support me."

Somehow also feels #SilentSunday

A white kite has lost most of its fabric leaving the framework visible. Its tasselled Trail is wrapped around a high wire and a tree. Behind there is a cloudy sky.

In Woche 37 wurde es sehr sportlich in der #52WochenFotoChallenge von @norberteder

37/52 Sport
Fly Free
Until late afternoon of this warm and sunny day, quite a few paragliders were still in the air - following the dream of free flying.

#outside #sport #paraglider #fly #freedom #nature #mood #availableLight #photography #52wochenchallenge #darktable #paperg

:nikon: :darktable:

A paraglider prepares for landing with still some distance to the ground. We see the pilot with the legs pulled up, the full para-glider above with stripes of green, yellow and blue. It is a landscape picture with very soft light from the already quite low standing sun. Haze softens the silhouettes of the woods and shapes of meadows and mountains in the background. The right part of the foreground is made of the silhouettes of two coniferous trees. Some large clouds can be guessed in the hazy sky.

Found a stump this week with several Zelia lurking about. In at least one species in the genus, females give birth to motile larvae, depositing them at the holes in decomposing wood made by beetles. The larvae then crawl along the tunnels until they find hosts to burrow into. #fly #diptera #zelia #tachinidae #insect #nature #entomology #FlyDay

Inaturalist tells me that both of these are quadrate snipe flies (Chrysopilus quadratus), but their coloration is very different. Does anyone know why? They both look like males, with their head-encompassing (holoptic) eyes. Is there just this much color variation, or have I mis-identified them?

#fly #flies #FlyFriday #rhagionidae #diptera #insects #arthropods #photography

A dark gray fly with wings that shade from black at the front to transparent at the back. He has very large, red, compound eyes speckled with dewdrops. The eyes completely cover his head, meeting in the middle. He sits on a concrete step, facing away from us, with his head held up. Drying off? Looking for prey?

A fly with a similar shape and pose, sitting on a green leaf. This one is rust-colored though.

A mosquito, gathering a blood meal from a knuckle of the hand that wasn't holding the camera. I admire her white tufts and bristly antennae.

#fly #flies #mosquitos #culicidae #diptera #insects #arthropods #photography

A closeup of a mosquito feeding from the photographer's knuckle. We see the mosquito from the side. Its abdomen is ringed with brown stripes. Its thorax is furry and dark brown with tufts of white. We see one multi-faceted eye, like a black raspberry. The antennae are long, sparse bottle-brushes. Its needle-like feeding parts are mostly hidden by a sheath, except where this is bent, near the head, to reveal a hair-thin tube.

A long-legged, golden, bristly fly stands at the edge of a serrated green leaf, staring into the black abyss. The fly has large dull-red eyes. Its antennae and mouthparts jut forward like blunt spikes. Its wings are swept back in a V. The end of its abdomen projects a thagomizer of long, thin bristles. What are you thinking, little fellow?

A fly I haven't seen before (possibly Hemyda aurata?) This poor guy was missing its left hind leg. The whole time I was there, the fly kept jabbing its abdomen at the leaf. A female depositing eggs? A confused male? I would have guessed that those naughty bits are some kind of clampy thing that belongs to a male.
