Another visit from one of these flies. This time it was much more co-operative. Even grooming while I was busy snapping away! It looks as if its mouth parts are permanently extended, not like house flies or hover flies that extend it as required.

Great series Johan!
Nice shots!. I love these little guys. They're so wonderfully weird!
Thanks everyone. It helps if the subject is co-operative!
Fantastic series.
Beautiful series, Johan. You really have a talent to take pics of these elusive guys!
seems you got up real close & personal here.
Great series, the detail is fascinating
Nice detail!
Wonderful series !
I think it is because it is night time! Normally I only see fleeting glimpses at dusk, but tonight this one was attracted by the porch light and quite placid. I'm not complaining.
Stunning picture,Johan!
It is unusual they stay so quiet for you to have time to picture them.
