 These two mating flies were a beautiful shade of green. Unfortunately the green doesn't show up as well in the photo, particularly on one of the flies.

These are from West Virginia USA, and the date was 9 June 2006.

ID help appreciated.

 Hi Stephen.
I think Nematocera, Anisopodidae, probably Sylvicola sp.

 Nematocera for sure, but I am hesitating between Trichoceridae and the tipuloid families. For the moment I would settle on Limoniidae.

 trichoceridae: ocelli and discal cell, 2? anal vein 90? curve, no V suture, 3-8mm
limoniidae: no ocelli, V suture, 11mm, not always spotted wings
... oops, anal lobe not big enough for blephariceridae

 Ooops, I started to enter size information but then realized I am not certain. I have one note that says 8 mm but have a little conflicting data on this one...

 Gnophomyia tristissima. The yellow halters give it away.
