The 'March fly' or Ectenopsis sp from the Pangoniinae Sub-family appear in our local reserve in November/December. They have very brilliant coloured eyes that reflect the light in the late sun. We found them feeding on the Verticordia densiflora flowers. As yet we have never been bitten by them nor have they tried to sit on us or our clothing.Photos: Fred and Jean

Summary[edit] Description: English: Yellow Fly of the Dismal Swamp - Diachlorus ferrugatus, Archbold Biological Station, Venus, Florida. I didn't notice this horsefly until it bit me. It serves me right for wearing Tevas while out doing bug photography. It was worth it though - the fly is stunning, and it has an interesting name. In a Time Magazine article about the Great Dismal Swamp, it states "the Dismal Swamp's yellow fly, they still say, will politely lift a man's hat from his head so as to get a better bite at his ears". I was fortunate to only get bitten on my foot. Date: 25 August 2012, 18:00:27. Source: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52450054@N04/7859833658/. Author: Judy Gallagher.
