While these little flying insects are called flies, they belong to the Hemiptera family. They are called flies because they have only two wings. They are covered with a woolly substance and have a lovely tail made of a waxy substance. The
female is a wingless insect. Other interesting photos of these are at:

I haven't seen many of these yet this year. It is the start of the season for them so I guess more will turn up. They float in the air like a seed pod. The
female is a wingless and therefore a flightless insect.The male has 2 wings and long waxy secretions from the end of its abdomen.
