Field Notes

Description:

These were an old spottings of mine, taken 5 years ago. I was amazed on these species, upon searching on web, I found it to be a beetle mimicking fly. About 2mm fly found it resting on a leaf. Until now I've been spotting this kind of fly, unluckily I haven't have a decent photo of this type.

Habitat:

grassy areas
