Flutter fly - Palloptera subusta - female

Flutter fly - Palloptera subusta - Female
Medford, Jackson County, Oregon, USA
September 30, 2010
Size: 4mm
Found under a walnut leaf. This gravid female was very wary of my presence, and did not stop moving. This is a poorly studied family, but I did find a reference to adults emerging from white fir cones in Oregon.
