I only have eyes for you :)

Mating tiny flies which seem to have heads that are all eyes. ID'd as Pipunculidae Chalarus sp. by diptera.info. About 3mm body length. Apparently these are parasitoids of leaf hopper larvae.

Terrific detail Brian. For so small a fly, they are well large in the image!

So detail in the eyes, cool shots and very good lighting as usual.
