Genus Paradidyma
I found this smartly-dressed tachnid fly on a sunflower next to a dirt road on Antelope Island. It was a new species
for me (now if I can only find out what species). I couldn't find much information on this genus, although I know
that adult tachnid flies take nectar and their larvae are parasitic on other insects. © Carol Davis 9-26-2010
Ever wonder what a fly's thinking? Me neither, until now. This one does seem to be contemplating what to do
next in its short life span: just sit and let the breeze blow through its curly locks, hum a song, climb a tree,
tease a wasp, play in Bison doo, annoy a photographer.... © Carol Davis 9-26-2010
