I’m not sure there’s enough to go on here but I think this may be a Leucopis. Size estimated at ~2mm from the photos. Found on an aphid covered plant in the butterfly plant section of a botanic garden (Maryland, USA) Thanks in advance for the help

(My apologies for not directly uploading the images here. It never seems to work for me despite following the instructions and trying different browsers)

the out of focus orange blobs are aphids

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
