Lucky capture when this fly launched just as I tripped the shutter.
A very common Spring fly, which can be found on sallow flowers. HFDF!
I found an attractive fly (Diptera) on a leaflet of native Wild Sweetpea (Lathyrus vestitus, Fabaceae) in the woods today. I don't know what kind of fly it is, but it has interesting colors. HFDF! (San Marcos Pass, 21 March 2025)
This is a "just a fly" (Diptera) on a leaflet of native Wild Sweetpea (Lathyrus vestitus, Fabaceae) in the woods a few days ago. My first guess based on its color and the way it holds its wings would be a Root-Maggot Fly in the family Anthomyiidae. Any help with identification will be appreciated. HFDF!

This is a "just a fly" (Diptera) on a leaf of Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia, Fagaceae) in the woods today.

This is a "just a fly" (Diptera) on leaf of California Coffeeberry (Frangula californica, Rhamnaceae) yesterday. My first guess based on its color and the way it holds its wings would be a Root-Maggot Fly in the family Anthomyiidae. Any help with identification will be appreciated. HFDF!

The summer vacation of 2019 brought with it several new species of hoverfly for me. This is one of them, a Xanthandrus comtus which is a nice species with unusually long wings and distinct (but different) markings on the abdomen on both the female (like this one) and the male.
The beautiful pink flower it is visiting here is a rugosa rose (Vresa rugosa) and the fly up top sharing the goodies is some sort of root-maggot fly (Anthomyiidae sp.).
