#1364 - Pterodontia mellii - Halloween Small-headed Fly
Posting for Sian Mawson, and photographed in Welshpool, Perth, on the 27 October. About 10mm long. It doesn’t have a common name, but I’m calling it the Halloween Small-headed Fly because of the colour scheme and time of year. Female P. mellii are mostly orange and significantly larger.
#365Insects 3: #Pterodontia flavipes Gray 1832 Look Ma, no head! This isn't a damaged specimen, but rather a member of the family #Acroceridae, aptly known as the Small-headed Flies. Why is their head so tiny? No idea!
