Simple As That (Longlegged Fly, Dolichopodidae) August 7, 2019June 21, 2019 • michaelmarlow In a green whirl: a small longlegged fly, Dolichopodidae. Not a lot going on here, just a long-legged fly hanging out on the curl of a leaf, and that’s pretty good.

Nice shot. I understand the name but they could just as easily have called it humped-back fly or long-legged humped-back fly. :) Reply
I can see your point, but there are longer legs and smaller humps in the family. I guess you got be a little flashier or leggier, anyway, to get top billing. :) https://bugphoto.net/2014/11/08/the-weekend-now-has-legs/ Reply
