Thanks John and Nikita. It took me two days to catch this fly. Yesterday I noticed two of them on the edge of our washing machine, which sits out on the back veranda under the eves of the house. They were of different sizes. I tried using a plastic jar to place over them quickly, but with no success. They were there again today, each in the same position as yesterday. Tried the net this time but couldn't get them with it either. Often in these cases I find the 'slow jar' does the job, and it did. So simply moving a plastic jar up to it slowly it didn't even move.
