These beautiful, long-legged flies are within family Dolichopodidae, and this genus Austrosciapus mainly occurs here in Australia, with just a few other species in New Zealand, French Polynesia, Norfolk Island and the Hawaiian Islands.
5 mm body length
* Further input from inaturalist contributors has placed this as Complex Austrosciapus proximus.

With their endearing habit of continuously waving their wings when at rest, Parapalaeosepsis plebeia flies have a natural distribution mainly in the south-east of our country.
These very small flies are ant-like and black in colour. Their wings are clear and have a small dark spot near the apex.
Perhaps genus Parapalaeosepsis.
Body length 4 mm.

Friday's fly: native to this country - there were many of these shiny little flies on the native Leptospermum polygalifolium.
This ID is based on the fact this is the only described species with frons broadly orange anteriorly and mid/hind legs with tarsi darkened on more than just the apical segment.
Tiny, no more than 5 mm in length.

A fly, perhaps within family Tachinidae, given the abundant amount of spiky bristles.
This was a tiny fly, seen here on a small bud.

A celebration of the colour green in this image.
I just love these tiny long-legged flies, their metallic emerald flashes when flying and coming to rest on foliage is so very beautiful.
Austrosciapus, perhaps proximus.
Body length just 5 mm.

Native to the south-east of this country. It has been observed that typically, this species will visit a carcass early in the decomposition process.
I also learned that the females of this species are ovoviviparous, laying around fifty larvae (maggots) sheathed in a chorion (egg shell) which hatch almost instantaneously.
And with fascination I read that this is the most forensically important fly in New South Wales, where, for example, it was utilised in over 30% of cases between 1984 and 2001.
Body length 10 mm.

Many of these tiny fly species within family Sepsidae resemble ants.
And many Sepsids 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 and ensign flies.
This is Parapalaeosepsis plebeia. I singled this one out, but at the time of taking the image, there were hundreds all over the kangaroo paw flowers.
Around 4 mm length.

Two tiny ensign flies, almost a mirror image, either side of a leaf.
Ensign flies are so tiny, they resemble ants. These two were part of a throng of what looked like hundreds on this one plant.
Many Sepsidae have a curious wing-waving habit made more apparent by the tiny dark patches at the wing end.

NB: image has been turned for detail, this little fly was head downward.
Dexiini is a tribe of flies in the family Tachinidae, known as bristle flies. I believe this one is genus Prosena.
They are mostly parasitic in larval Coleoptera, especially Scarabaeidae.

...for I am your leader.
I think this is a Snail Parasite Blowfly, if anyone could confirm it'd be great :)

More flies on my stream if you like flies. This fly had fungus or something on it which looked pink.

I think this might be the thick-headed fly Physocephala tibialis, seen in Pennsylvania some summers ago.
If so, what an intriguing life cycle I learned about....these flies parasitize many different species of bees by laying their eggs inside the abdomen of their host.
The larva hatches inside of the host. It grows and develops until the host eventually dies and the larva envelopes itself in a puparium and pupates inside of the corpse.
Around 12 mm in length.
