Field Notes

Description:

Tiny fly. I would have overlooked it but for the fact that the wings were special.

Habitat:

Belun village eco resort near Katwa in West Bengal. Nature runs wild here. Very little human interference. There is a small river that is very close to this property.

Notes:

2nd and 4th photos are cropped versions for ID.
