A tiny fly of 3 mm in length with an abdomen banded in grey. The wings are twice the length of the entire body of the fly. The head is very large, comprised almost entirely of the enormous eyes, hence the common name for this Family. The larvae are parasitoids on small Homoptera. Family Pipunculidae.
