These flies were visiting flowers (Yarrow and Dandelion). Are they Anthomyiidae? 6 July 2009, beside a large lake, north of Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. They varied in size, but the one I measured was 8 mm in length. Stephen attached the following image:  [119.96Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Look at the size difference! Yet same sex, same species?

The smaller one's are probable Muscidae, Hebecnema.... The bigger one on the last photo seems Alliopsis (Anthomyiidae).... Joke |
