Found this one doing what scuttle flies do, scuttling around on my kitchen window. A couple of minutes in the freezer slowed it down for a bit...Correct ID & a male?
Size...just under 4mm.

But the ID is correct, which is probably more amazing than the background. ;)

Hmm..A couple of wise guys huh? Maybe the last photo inspired your somewhat tongue-in-cheek replies :P:P:P
Actually I had seen this type before and had it ID'd by Tony Irwin and Brian Brown...so in card playing terms..I was working with a rigged deck |t. Also have a couple of pics from that thread in the Gallery.

As for the background..I had the fly in the freezer for about 4 minutes and didn't really expect it to do an impersonation of Lazarus whan I set it on graph paper [2mm squares] to get an idea of size without having to actually measure it.
Regards
Roger..the not so "amazing" ...
