Sorry. I don't know enough to go further on identification.
Anyway, it's worth considering sexual dimorphism and development phase within a specie to assign variations you could see.

I agree with John La Salle. :)

My guess is the same given for one of your previous spotting, since I think they are the same specie. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/184...

I hope this helps.

Hi EricGreen,
It is likely to be a scale (a sort of plant-parasitic insect). This link is an example of it: http://bugguide.net/node/view/487942/bgi...

There is an easy way to distinguish them (if you ignore exceptions). Flies have only a pair of wings and not two pairs as other insects.

Hi Malcolm Wilton-Jones!
It's more likely to be a fly. Take a look on Hermetia genus (especially on Hermetia illucens). http://www.taxateca.com/ordendiptera.htm...

Hi Carmen Mejia!
Probably, they are Perreyia's larvae.

Hi Joseph!
This strange guy is a fish called Mudskipper. Take a look in these links, maybe you can find the species name:

Hi pamsai!
My suggestion is not Aeneolamia jugata as the given reference because I didn't find a taxonomic work validating this name. Maybe this issue deserves more study.
