Small Fly? - Ectopsocus briggsi
Copyright © 2008 Scott Justis

Small Fly? - Ectopsocus briggsi
Norfolk, Virginia, USA
February 2, 2008
Size: ~2.5mm (head to wingtips)
I have absolutely no idea what this is. Some kind of fly maybe?
Very skittish and hard to focus on. This is the best shot of four.

Thanks!
Strange little bug. I saw a couple of these, but they would fly away at the sight of a camera.
