I took this picture of a very tiny fly yesterday, and was wondering if you knew what the species was. He measured less than a centimeter head to tail. (Feel free to post the photo to the site, if you’d like.) Thanks!

Hi Kerry,
This is a Long Legged Fly in the family Dolichopodidae. We believe it is in the genus Condylostylus. Long Legged Flies prey on small insects.
