21 May 2008, NB, Canada Bibio sp. Note the interesting eyes, dorsal large facets occupying about 1/2 the head and much smaller ventral portion with smaller facets. Tony T attached the following image:  [102.77Kb] |

Thanks Sue. The most difficult part of these photos is trying to get rid of all the dust and junk that ends up in the hairs. I can still see a couple of pieces in the hairs on the eyes. But why do they have such long hairs? |
