A closeup of a common picture-winged fly (Delphinia picta). These are sweet little flies that pose on leaves and turn around slowly while waving their brown/orange/white patterned wings. They feed on decaying plant matter, mostly.

A poor little tephritid fly with crumpled wings. He crawled onto my hand and hung around a while. He couldn't fly, so I tucked him into what I thought would be a safe place outside.

A conopid fly wasp-mimic, possibly Physocephala marginata. I had to follow him around for a long time before he settled down and let me take his picture.
