New Brunswick, Canada. 21 March 2007. Body length: 4mm. Assumed this fly overwintered as an adult as weather is still unseasonably cold with plenty of snow on the ground.
Do the striped eyes help in identification? Expect to see striped eyes on Tabanids but not on other families.

Hello - very nice photo. A perfect example of Sapromyza brachysoma Coquillett (Lauxaniidae) - a very widespread Nearctic species.
Cheers,
Steve

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
