Graphomya maculata - Graphomya

Graphomya maculata - Graphomya
Trenton, Wayne County, Michigan, USA
September 29, 2007
Size: 7 mm
I looked at many photos of this species, as well as additional ones in my series. There is some variability, but I believe this ID is correct. Note that the contrasty gray and black pattern depended on the angle of the light. All these are the same individual, even though the thorax in particular appears nearly all black at some angles.
