okay FLY people whos this? - Ogcodes dispar
wolf creek, josephine County, Oregon, USA
June 22, 2009
I found this on my milkweed, and assmed it was a tiny crisalis.
That was not the case however, for this came out..not a parasite but the exact shape of the crisalis. looks like it has radar on it.
past that im stumped it sorta looks like a fly but even with a magnifing glass..i could see no antenne, and no eyes. and the pictures arent the best sorry..it is allmost see thru. i can and did fly.

This is an Acrocerid Fly, most of which are quite rare. Too bad it's a Bigfoot shot.

Thanks
I thought it would be tough. You can see the camera was focused on the fabric weave and not the fly.
