Only, because it strikingly resembled my fly on the picture below - which I didn't identify myself ;-). Still only a hobby photographer...

Only guys as Linnaeus, Meigen and Robineau ID?d the first one of a species.
Ever since we learn from them and copy them.
And if you do that correctly, you're an axpert.
