I was going to ask if any Stratiomyiidae had banded eyes but then I came across these two in the gallery: http://www.dipter...to_id=1199 http://www.dipter...to_id=1951 |

It doesn't really have the look of Hermetia - better change the title to see if you can attract Martin Hauser

This is a female of Chorodonta inermis. Awesome fly!
