Bibio sp. Note the interesting eyes, dorsal large facets occupying about 1/2 the head and much smaller ventral portion with smaller facets.

Thanks Sue. The most difficult part of these photos is trying to get rid of all the dust and junk that ends up in the hairs. I can still see a couple of pieces in the hairs on the eyes. But why do they have such long hairs?
