Dunno, a fly? - Thevenetimyia maculipennis
Arivaca Cienega, Pima County, Arizona, USA
August 16, 2007
Size: ~1cm
Looks like a fly maybe, but that long proboscis has me confused. ID anyone? I saw a second of what I think is the same species and will post seperately next, adds a different viewpoint. Just noticed it looks like it only has one pair of wings, so can't be a Dipteran. Way puzzled???
