Orange Fly

DateMon 2009-07-27

This small orange fly caught my attention by the way it was hurriedly walking around this leaf, flashing its wings as if it was trying to attract attention of a potential mate.  Based on a search through Diptera.Info, it is probably a Geomyza sp (Diptera: Opomyzidae).
