Hi,
Today I saw this small black fly running over leaves. It looked like a short, very fat ant. I have no idea where to put it, so please help me!
Thanks, Sundew

Many thanks, Gabor, for identifying my funny fly. Stratiomyidae is a family I'm still not familiar with, but I'm learning! This one I'll know forever Grin!
