  6. A little tachinid fly (possibly Cryptomeigenia) sitting on a leaf. I love the shape and color of the eyes.

  7. I came across this old photo of a handsome tachinid fly that I never identified. I love the stepped geometric black and white pattern on his abdomen. He's sitting on a wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia).

  8. A handsome "swift feather legged fly" (Trichopoda pennipes). See his elegant fringes?

    Dipterists definitely missed a good naming opportunity here. He should have been a "Fast Feather Footed Fly."

  9. A female Gymnoclytia on a daisy. The females are black and white. The males are brown and orange.
