Chonky boy for largemouth bass. If the wind stays calm, I'll take it out on the paddle board tonight.

It's #FlydayFriday! Here's a picture-winged fly (family Ulidiidae) I recently found in a community garden.

A hypnotic-eyed, soft-focus tabanid fly who has obviously been twirling his upturned moustache in anticipation of eating.... er, MEETING you.

Here's a little syrphid #fly. I think it's a Margined Calligrapher (Toxomerus marginatus). I like this picture because the veins in the wings are so easy to see.
You can tell that this fly is in the family #syrphidae by looking at its wings. If you zoom in on the middle of a wing you'll see a place where 2 lines cross, making a + sign. The short line is a real vein, but the long one is a false vein. It's just a dark ridge, not a real vein. Nearly all syrphids have this.

A Violet Leafwalker (Chalcosyrphus chalybeus). These flies are wasp mimics. They even flick their wings the way mud-dauber wasps do. From some angles they are dark, Darth Vader black. From other angles they have the color of cobalt blue bottles.

A Robber Fly/Assassin Fly (Asilidae) resting on a leaf of Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans).
The fly is a powerful predator of insects.
The leaf of the plant is something you want to avoid touching, even just with your shoes.

A crane fly in the reeds (there's a book title for you!).
Does anybody know yet what (or if) adult crane flies eat? Their elaborate mouthparts are fascinating. Is this fly watching/sniffing for mates or food? Or just enjoying the sunshine and rippling water?
