Minute Black Scavenger Flies - Scatopse notata
Fall City, King County, Washington, USA
October 14, 2006
Size: 4mm
I found these swarming out of a piece of rotted wood/rusted metal farm equipment (I actually went somewhere other than my yard!). Anyway, it was a cool day, 58 deg F-ish, overcast, near a horse pasture.
