Mydid

Image of Miltinus minutus Mackerras 1928

Description:

We went on a hunt looking for Mydid flies and found these. They are an interesting fly that flies low to the ground landing under the shrubs or parallel on a small stick to hide. This one has its proboscis out, sucking up the nectar from the flower. ~20mm
