Happy #FridayFlyDay from my garden!
1. A long-legged fly (family Dolichopodidae) that actually stayed still for a photo
2. A hoverfly (family Syrphidae) amid the brown-eyed Susans, methodically going from flower to flower#bugstodon #FlyFriday #insects #flies #Diptera #Dolichopodidae #Syrphidae

For this #FridayFlyday: today I was browsing around trying to ID a fly and inadvertently discovered these. Ant-mimicking flies, genus _Myrmecothea_. Now I've seen it all. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/132235-Myrmecothea

trying to be perceived as a normal, friendly person by nodding and smiling as an old man passes me on the sidewalk while I'm hunched over someone's bushes next to their green bin extremely suspiciously, taking photos of flies having sex

Another bee-mimicking robber fly. This one has caught a beetle.

Hey, it’s #FlyDay!
I think it’s a common green fly, but it flew away before I could snap a pic on the other side of the kitchen door.

#FlydayFriday: Warm weather has returned and so have what I call "zebra flies", _Anthomyia_! With their dark red eyes and striking black and white stripes they are very appealing.

This tiny orange fly is apparently a boxwood gall midge, Monarthropalpus flavus.

Hey, it's #FlyFriday!
Finally had the right combination of warm weather, health and time to get out and try my new AK diffuser with this marsh fly

A snail killing fly, though I saw nothing of the sort

I wasn't expecting to find something for #FridayFlyDay, but then I stumbled across this adorable hoverfly in Trinity-Bellwoods on a mint-type plant that was still flowering in the garden! Due to the cold and the rather late hour it was placid and let me get lots of photos.

continuing with the Oriental names (and i wonder this is one of the worst ones you'll come across...) Possible ID: Oriental Latrine Fly (Chrysomya megacephala) (aka oriental blue fly) #Invertebrate #Photography #FlyFriday 🌿 📸📸

@Subumbral Some summers ago there were so many #fruitFlies (because we keep the food recycling bin open in the kitchen), I had to catch and release them in bulk! 😆

#FridayFlyday: I saw this fetching couple on the new-ish wood fence in Trinity-Bellwoods, but only got this one photo before some people asked me for directions and I inadvertently scared them off. The flies, not the people.
Best I can guess is Muscoidea?

Happy #FridayFlyday! I was astonished to see this ENORMOUS, ferociously bristled fly, the size of a bumblebee, visiting the garden goldenrod. I had no idea flies could get this big, at least not here.
It stared me down when my picture-taking annoyed it. I backed off, as I figured the beast could give me a concussion if it flew into my head with enough force.

#FridayFlyday: at golden hour by the lake, saw the sunny side of a silver maple simply covered with cluster flies (_Pollenia_). Sunning? Hanging out? Speed dating? Anyone know what their deal is?
These flies are quite docile and I was able to get lots of close-up pictures. Their golden hair is quite handsome, I think.

Thank goodness it's #FlyFriday!
"Hanging thieves," "bee killers," and now "micropanthers" (_Atomosia_, like this _A. puella_ found in High Park)—how come robber flies get the coolest common names?!
