The larger (female i'm guessing) was about an inch. These little black flies get all over my porch, and sun on the railings.

Moved from Penthetria. This seems to be a fall species.

March Flies
Look like March Flies--Bibionidae-- Some are out early in the year--hence "March Flies--but some are out late in the year as well. The pesty "love bugs" of Florida are in this group. See "Plecia" in the guide.
