here is a small-headed fly, Astomella hispaniae, a ridiculous beast that i distinctly remember finding at like 8 in the evening because the accursed sun wouldn't let me go outside until then. i was reminded of my first encounter with this weird little family by apsciencebydan's recent post and i can confirm they're very disorienting to see in person, since as i was approaching it i thought it was a decapitated hoverfly for some reason
