Lauxaniid fly
Rhagadolyra magnicornis
-37.8572, 145.323
Field Notes
Description:
A small fly with very short abdomen. Not very concerned with my activities... maybe a very fresh, dopey one. Exploring the stems of an acacia. About 12mm long.
Habitat:
In a local nature reserve.
Notes:
"...Rhagadolyra is close to Sapromyza but the frons doesn't project in front of the eyes as much in the latter as seen here..." thanks to Tony D (BowerBird) <br>
