Unknown Fly - Cerastipsocus trifasciatus

Unknown Fly - Cerastipsocus trifasciatus
Toney (northwest of Huntsville), Madison County, Alabama, USA
July 5, 2008
Size: approx 1/8"
And I have no idea what they are. That chunk of "bark" (actually shredded tire now serving as mulch) on the left is about a 1/2" long. I found them this morning about 1030 am, after it rained - that's a rain downspout guide they're on. I went back about an hour later and they had migrated down to the angle between the guide and the concrete. They seemed to react to my presence - they spread out a little when I put my hand near them.
