A fly and his shadow
lynkos
Not the best of photos technically, but I rather like the way this tiny fly (about 2 mm) throws up a huge shadow. I've tentatively identified it as Sepsidae, Sepsis sp., am I anywhere near right?

Thanks, Sarah

Just for the delight of it, can't resist posting this additional picture of a Sepsis who seems to be dancing on the leaf (actually he was cleaning his abdomen with great concentration!).

Enjoy! Sarah
