Field Notes

Description:

Quite tiny, maybe 1cm in length, sitting on a frangipani flower.

Notes:

I am guessing it is maybe either a bee or a fly.

Hi there, Thanks so much for your help. I have listed this one as Bactrocera dorsalis as it looked just like the photo on Wiki. And it said it was in Southeast Asia. Thanks again.
