Speaking of flies, everyone hates them.
This little bug doesn’t sit quietly and restlessly.
It just likes to run around.
< p>One moment it flies to the food,The next moment it brushes against your face,
It’s really annoying!
However, there are also some flies that are very strange and lovable!
+Beetle? Or a fly? +
Let’s take a guess, what kind of insect is this?
If you talk about beetles, you are wrong.
This metallic scute, Emma, ??looks nice and round! Such a delicate little insect is really not a leaf beetle? NO, they are flies among flies - beetles! If you look closely, the head structure is very different from that of the leaf beetle.
Beetle flies
Beetle flies are the general name for insects of the family Celyphidae. The English name is beetle flies. They are very small, only about 5mm. The small scutellum extends backward to cover the arch. The abdomen forms a protective shell.
The armor fly can still fly even with such a large scute. When resting, the wings are folded under the "carapace".
+King of Karaoke+
Excuse me, are you sure this insect is not a microphone? It makes people want to sing karaoke suddenly. Oops, what are these two "microphones" doing down there?
With a small body, a big and round head, and a pair of huge compound eyes covering the entire head, it is simply a strange thing among flies. Reminiscent of the gadfly "wearing sunglasses"!
However, this insect is a real fly. People in the world call it "head fly", which is the collective name for insects of the family Pipunculidae. The English name is big-headed flies, which literally means big-headed fly.
Head fly is a type of parasitic fly. The larvae will grow up in the bodies of other insects. More than 1,300 species have been discovered, distributed all over the world.
Such a large compound eye is not completely useless. The large eyes and wide field of vision make it much easier for foodies to catch prey.
+Antlers on the head! +
These two bugs are doing shameful things, which is really embarrassing to stare at. But that bug above has two antlers on its head? Why did the antlers end up on the insect? Could it be that some PS master did something good?
Like the unicorn fairy, the fly has horns on its head! This fly with "antlers" is the antler fly of the family Tephritidae. When the two male insects met, they were extremely jealous. With the antlers and weapons, they started fighting without any ambiguity and started fighting directly!
+Bee? fly? Can't tell the difference! +
Pseudomonas eye flies
When it comes to mimicry, compared with Pseudomonas eye flies, the melon fruit fly pales into insignificance.
Mudpot wasps
Can you tell them apart? Cerioides annulata is an insect of the family Cerioides annulata, with a body length of about 24 to 26 mm and is distributed in low-altitude mountainous areas.
One is Diptera and the other is Hymenoptera, but they can still be separated! The structure of their antennae is different: the base section of the antennae of Pseudomonas spp. is bifurcated at the horn, while the first section of the antennae of Mudbot wasp is very long, and the whip section has multiple sub-segments.

The costume of the wasp-eye fly scares away many people!
