Fly - Okanagana

British Columbia, Canada
June 27, 2007

I first seen this fly last year in Seton Portage BC, Canada, it was the first time in my life i seen this type of fly. I have been watching for strange bugs as the weather changes and seen it again this year in Lillooet and managed to get a few pictures. I have other pictures, of the side, front, and back if anyone is interested.

Okanagana occidentalis

There are few cicadas in this part of the world, but one of them is a beauty - O. ornata has bright red outer margins of the wings, and occurs only in coastal regions from California to Oregon, and in this valley in BC. Watch for it!

Unfortunately, the one you have photographed is a rather drab and certainly common and widespread cicada species.

Yes.

There aren't that many species up there, either. I hazard that this one is in the genus Okanagana, but best to wait for Dr. Andy Hamilton to chime in next time he visits here:-)
