Banded signal fly with false eyes

Thank you Fyn for the nomination.
Its a cool creature, and as is often the case, the 'eyes' were not even noticed until afterwards.
Thank you jeslowery.

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!

Thanks Mark and Ash.
There are certainly many jumping spiders here at the moment.
I shall post some spiders shortly
It has been very dry this season but there are still many treats for the observant eye.

Very interesting. Hope you're having a good time there - must have some amazing species !

You're right... Platystomatidae

I guess those eyes are mimicing jumping spider's anterior median eyes...nice find!
