Species Z?  - Forcipomyia - female

Species Z? - Forcipomyia - Female
near Briargrove area, Houston, Harris County, Texas, USA
October 22, 2014
Size: ~2 mm BL
Showing leg characters. If this is species Z, then it's a bit wider-ranging than just Alabama, which is the range listed on the info page.

This is a relatively large specimen with relatively dark markings on the legs. The average size seems to be ~1.7 or 1.8 mm, based on the ones I see.

See male here, possibly the same species;
