Miltinus viduatus

Family: Mydidae

Order: Diptera

 

Midas flies are not frequently encountered and there are currently (Jan 2025) only 283 observations of the family on iNaturalist Australia.

 

Most midas flies are wasp or robber fly mimics and have abdomens striped in black, white and sometimes orange colours. They can be distinguished from robber flies, in the family Asilidae, by the 4-segmented clubbed antennae and by wing venation. The wing venation includes a spur vein in R3 - see the following link to Drawing.org:

 

drawwing.org/insect/miltinus-wing

 

The larvae of some species in the genus feed on beetle larvae including scarabs. Adults appear to feed on flowers.

 

The femura on the rear legs are very well developed compared with the other legs.

 

Males of M. viduatus are smaller than the females but generally similar in appearance. This one may be a female as it was taking a keen interest in some sandy ground where it may have been looking for buried larvae on which to lay eggs.

 

This image is a focus-stack of three handheld shots taken in ambient light using a 100-400mm lens on a Sony A7R. Aperture F5.6, shutter 1/250. ISO 100.

 

Etymology: Vidua is the latin word for widow - presumably a reference to the fly's predominantly black colouration - the colour of mourning

The Joy of Love/Love to Hate

We get a lot of catalogs in the mail along with a couple of magazines. My subscription, I don't intend on renewing, and the other was a gimme for another magazine that was discontinued. My husband gets The Economist and reads it cover to cover. Mine sit around the house for months before I finally read them all and am ready to relinquish them to the recycling pile. My husband is usually done with his in a couple of days and off it goes. He can't stand the fact that I won't let him recycle my catalogs and magazines until I'm ready. I often catch him in the act of getting rid of them, only to save them from impending doom. And even though he hates my stacks around the house, he still lets me have them beyond the "Two-Month" Rule.

The Anaconda Smelter Stack is 585 feet (178.3 m) tall. It consists of a brick chimney (555 ft, 169.2 m tall) and a concrete foundation (30 ft, 9.1 m). Though no longer in use, it is the tallest surviving brick masonry structure in the world.

Is that a rock stack or is that a rabbit in a skirt?

Fifty for Fifty Two - Stacked

Wouldn't it be nice if you were a giant and could pick up these rocks and spend a morning trying to see how many times it could possibly bounce on the ocean if it was thrown?

 

Another option would be just to sit and admire the ocean and enjoy the sunshine on these rocks ;)

The next chapter in my portfolio is an extensive collection of sepia monotone photos taken throughout South Africa, the continuation of taking photographs anywhere and everywhere I find the opportunity to do so....

 

Take a journey with me.....
