I can't even decide a family for this fly. The abdomen seems tiny compared with those found in most families. Location: West Virginia USA, woodlands Date: June 7, 2006 Stephen attached the following image:  [72.76Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

It is an anthomyiid. An 'undersized' abdomen is a common feature in this family, but it is hardly a definite character.
