I have many, many flies that I shot during the last month; here are a few of the more elusive ones, some of which have quite interesting eyes. (I hope I managed to ID them correctly, if not, please correct me. Thanks.)

-1- Scorpion fly

Thank you, my dear. Will correct this. Oh, I must also thank you for pointing out some of these remarkable flies so I could shoot them. Lots of credit goes to you for finding them!
