Unknown fly, Davidsonville, md
An unknown, very small fly, note the size of the insect pin point in the picture. They head shot was taken at 10 X and the full body shot was taken at 5X. This fly was collected by Brad Seay in Davidsonville Maryland and t was associated with unknown fly was swarming on deliquescing Stropharia rugosoannulata mushrooms he collected I played around with creating a North light look on the shot of the full fly body by putting the two flash heads below the specimen, bouncing the light off the Styrofoam cooler wall and using a velum bridge with solid walls turned on its side to soften the light.
