This is a stilt-legged fly, named for its characteristically long legs. The fore legs are markedly smaller than the other pairs. These flies belong to the family Micropezidae. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropezida...
Spotted on yellow walking iris in a large semi-urban yard & garden, near a disturbed patch of remnant lowland forest. This is in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.
