Beetle Fly

thank you martinl, misako.hill, jumpingspiderman..

Celyphidae or beetle flies, beetle-backed flies is a family of insects of the order Diptera. About 90 species are known from the Oriental and Afrotropic biogeographic regions. The scutellum is enlarged, forming a protective shell over the abdomen, giving them a beetlelike appearance. The wings, when at rest, are folded beneath the scutellar “shell”.
