Not sure what is going on with this fly's wings, is it recently emerged and the wings haven't expanded yet? Is this something like Heteropogon sp.? Stephen attached the following image:  [67.89Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Thanks so much, Eric. & Sorry I forgot the data. This was from around my house, Upshur County, West Virginia. Date was 11 August 2009, size not recorded. My first Atomosia!
