Tiny Sepsid fly

Within family Sepsidae, tiny flies with many species resembling ants. Perhaps genus Parapalaeosepsis.

 

And many Sepsidae have a curious wing-waving habit made more apparent by the tiny dark patches at the wing end.

 

They can often be found around dung or decaying plant and animal material where eggs are laid and larvae develop.

 

Also commonly known as scavenger flies.

 

Around 4 mm length.
