- Reposted by Team Diptera 🪰🔍🦟🌻Ahh the problem with common names The original description of this image -'Fruit flies undergo a prelude of dances prior to mating' It's a Tephritidae - a fruit fly. NOT Drosophila - what many refer to as a fruit fly (from family Drosophilidae aka Vinegar flies). Quite different (see image of cat)

- Reposted by Team Diptera 🪰🔍🦟🌻My first louse (flat) flies of the year! Stenepteryx (Crataerina) hirundinis puparia (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) with flies emerging about 5 months early. I probably should have kept them somewhere cooler!

- Reposted by Team Diptera 🪰🔍🦟🌻Day 23 of #InsectAdvent As the angels spread their wings, so do the flies. Rhamphomyia marginata (Empididae) are found across Europe & unusually for animals, it is the females that form the flirty swarms. Maybe not such angelic behaviour 😉 @royentsoc.bsky.social @dipterists.bsky.social

The stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans (Muscidae) gives the gift of a painful 'bite' to all attending mammals @dipterists.bsky.social @royentsoc.bsky.social
- Reposted by Team Diptera 🪰🔍🦟🌻Day 15 #InsectAdvent And even the flies are getting festive. Sporting massive antlers akin to Moose or Reindeer, Phytalmia sp (Tephritidae) males, will use them to fight for their right.......to PARTY (with the opposite sex...) @royentsoc.bsky.social @dipterists.bsky.social

- To see these beeflies, Australoechus sp, flying around in the Fynbos, SA, has to be 1 of my life’s highlights Many were buzzing around Micrdon capitatus, the heady catstailbush - a rare endemic to this region. Rare because of habitat loss (land clearance) & invasive species. Brilliant #beeflies
