A beautiful little Fruit Fly about 5 mm long. It was literally standing on its head at a 90º angle from the wall. I thought something was wrong with it, but when I touched it, it flew away. Family Tephritidae. Maybe a species of the genus Anastrepha (http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20p?see=I...).
Came to the lights on a wall, Hotel Posada Loma, Fortin de Las Flores, Veracruz.

In Yoga there is a position call Shir-shashan, basically a head stand. Maybe this fruit fly is a yoga guru :)
