These are quite easy to find in my garden in late spring/early summer. I mostly find them on the leaves of Goldenrod before it reaches the flowering stage and mostly in the mornings. Being is easy to find is one thing but offering a good view through the vegetation is another.

These flies are about 1cm long and have highly-modified mouthparts. I have been accumulating images of these flies and, too late in the season, realised that I didn't have quite the side view of the quality I wanted. The time has come to got with what I have.

EM-1 (manual mode), Kiron 105, twin RC TTL flash, f16, hand-held.

The stereo is crosseye.
