I don't remember finding a fly that looked like this one before. I would love to know the family. 3 May 2012, Arden (Barbour County), West Virginia USA, mountain forest alongside a fast-flowing river. The fly was walking on a rotting log that was very wet. It was small, possibly 4 mm, but that is a rough estimate. Stephen attached the following image:  [104.41Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Perhaps Clusiidae? |
