This fly seemed to be interested in laying eggs in the bud of a cactus flower (I think the cactus was Pilocereus sp.) It maneuvered around the bud for more than fifteen minutes and seemed to be trying to oviposit into it. Thanks in advance for any ideas about what it might be. A couple additional photos to follow.
