_unknown_fly_Virginia_August_morning - Xenox tigrinus
Leesburg, Loudon County, Virginia, USA
August 1, 2015
Size: 25 mmm
The eyes struck me as very unusual, with a notch on the side. Seen in the morning on a white balustrade, oriented vertically, head up. It stayed motionless for quite some time. Thanks in advance!
