Muscid Fly

DateTue 2010-07-20

A close relative of the house fly: Musca autumnalis (Diptera: Muscidae, order Diptera).  This is a male; females have a noticable gap on between their eyes, they have bolder black and white stripes on the thorax, and they have no orange patches on the sides of the abdomen.
