FliesMydas Fly?
Hi,
I just found your site, while trying to identify this fly we found in our house. It looks like a mydas fly from your other pictures, however this has distinctive black and white legs…any ideas?

Hi Colin,
This is actually the Black Soldier Fly, Hermetia illucens. They DO resemble mydas flies at first glance.
