A pair of Sunflower Maggot Flies feeling frisky this #InsektenSamstag #Diptera #Strauzia #insects #flies #FaunaOfManitoba

Another very common insect in my yard, some sort of Strauzia that feeds on Jerusalem artichoke during its larval stage. Not sure of species because several do this, plus several more that might be undescribed. They have beautiful eyes. #strauzia #FruitFly #tephritidae #helianthus #diptera #entomology #nature
