One of these little flies was sitting on the trunk of the
Eucalyptus citriodora tree in the garden.It sat face down at 30cm from the ground. It was a very hot day. (38C +) Other insects sit on the cool trunk too. It is very similar to one I
photographed one month ago except it has a different abdomen. See notes below from Servitude (Tony) This is the male

While I was photographing this one I noticed a long (what I thought was an) ovopositor behind the fly. It proceeded to move slowly down the frond going to the toilet! (I presume)
