Parapalaeosepsis plebeia
A tiny fly about 4mm long with a single black mark in clear wings and a very tidy head-eye arrangement. Eyes, thorax dark red, head, abdomen black.
Resting on Agapanthus leaf in outer suburban back yard.
Yet to search for species. Thanks Stephen Thorpe for family... this little fly has modified forelegs for clasping onto females while mating. http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Parapalaeo...
