Flies

Hi,
It’s been so hot & humid it’s hard to stay out for long enough to spot any interesting bugs. And they’re all hiding in the shade, so I went for things I don’t usually try to photograph because they’re so tiny, or so common. (My little Canon Powershot A60 was at its closeup limit trying to capture these 1/4 in long flies.) I don’t know what any of these bugs are.
Love, Marian

Hi Again Marian,
We are posting your image of a Long Legged Fly in the genus Condylostylus. It is nearly impossible to distinguish the exact species. They are predatory, preying on smaller insects.
