Dr. Martin- thank you for you
Dr. Martin- thank you for your identification of my small fly, as " Zacompsia fulva." There are a multitude of insects nectaring our many nectar sources we have provided to our "Pollinator Friendly Area" I am slowly identifying the many flies, wasp, bees, beetles, etc.

This Picture-winged Fly is but one.

Thank you,

Fitz Clarke, Skidaway Island, Savannah, Chatham Co, Ga

This is an interesting species, I have never collected it myself and we have only a few records of this in the BG... So great job! Keep the pictures coming.
Cheers
