Field Notes

Description:

Yellow fly with black hair and red eyes. The abdomen has horizontal black stripes as well as vertical stripes down the sides.

Habitat:

Orange tree leaf in orchard in backyard

Notes:

I believe this is a type of Lauxaniid Fly. I submitted it to BugGuide but it's just sitting in the Flies (Diptera) category and hasn't been ID'd yet.
