Not an ID
I don't know what it is, but I think that it is cool because it reminds me of Zelia. For all I know it is? But the black triangles on the gray is pretty interesting for some reason! And it's spikey, which is nice. Sorry I'm not a fly expert, just a fan.

Zelia
Does appear to be right. Catalog lists about six species in AZ and most are not the same as our eastern species.

Hi John
I liked the "Outter Space" effect caused by the pitted glass!

I took a quick look thru your submissions & they are really good. I especially liked the Red-Banded Hairstreak!! Wow!

Thanks
The angle it is on it's back makes it look like it is getting sucked into some unseen black hole. Help meeeeeeeee!
