Photographed May 18, near Chicago IL USA. This fly was hanging out on some type of fungus - mushrooms? Thanks for any help.  Edited by Bruce Marlin on 16-01-2005 20:01 |

Hello Bruce, This is a species of Suillia, family Heleomyzidae. They are found on many kinds of decaying organic matter, both of plants and animals. So you can find them near compost, rotting fungi, dung, carrion, etc. Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |
