"Just Some Small Black Fly", pt. 2 - _TNY_5143S2
These guys really look like just another small black fly until you come in a little closer. Too bad they don't stay still for very long.
This particular specimen is a female Chrysis impressa and was checking out the stairs up to the front door when we met.
This is two shots manually combined in Photoshop as the green half and the red half were sharp in different exposures and there was to much movement (of antennae and legs) to make a Zerene stack useful.
