This is a small insect less than 5 mm long who never stoped waving the wings. It looks like a winged ant, except for the head and eyes. I really don't know in which category I should put it ... Thanks, Joaquim Gaspar Lisbon Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [194.96Kb] |

With 2 wings plus haltares and with antennae like that it has to be Diptera. Possibly Sepsidae? |

Well, I know next to nothing about Sepsidae so I am the wrong person to ask but the name sounds like it should be an Australasian genus, and I can't find that genus in a search of http://www.faunae...  |
