Found these (still unidentified) flies lurking on the wife's car in the late afternoon sun. 1st & 2nd shots are the same fly.

    LOvely shots Gary :)
    Think the first fly is a member of the Opomyzidae- looks a bit like Geomyza tripunctata but the wing markings look wrong.
    #3 is a St Marks fly (march fly) Bibio species- male.

    Hi there Gary that last shot looks like that one is built for speed.
    Nice work, though I had no clue what they were, the last one was not the same as the first two...... I figured that much out hahahaha rolleyes1.gif
