Wow, now if he had shown me the backend I would have guessed that!
I assume the unusually placed eyes are a result of living at the bottom of rivers for early detection of preditors above?

Lovely shot Gordon- you were unlucky- Bald Eagle posted one of these recently in another forum ;)

OK here's mine- what's this ?

Ah just realised it's not an insect - but guess what it is anyway :)

Meanwhile here's an insect - what will it be when it grows up ?

A drone fly is a hoverfly- they have aquatic larvae (whip tail maggots) so no it's a type of fly sometimes mistaken for a hoverfly.
