Efferia aestuans
Looks like a type of biting fly... perhaps only recently emerging from pupa stage, from looks of abdomen.
Trying out my homebrew macro lens on my iPhone 4S. :)

That's the best I can do for now. They are predatory insects.
It's a male Robber Fly. I'm looking to see if I can find which one.
