Ant fly
What is it called when you see a little anty thing, but it's got wings, and when you look at it on the screen, it's obviously a fly?
Why, an Ant Fly of course!
Not a flying ant, and not a flying termite. Just an Ant Fly.
There's virtually no information about them on the net; I have discovered there are two species, and this one is Parapalaeosepsis compressa Family Sepsidae I believe.
They have a body length of about 4mm - like I said, tiny.
The only info I can find is from the website Brisbane Insects: this is what they say.
Flies in this family are small and ant-like. Their wings are clear and have a small dark spot on wing near apex. They have the habit of continuously waving the wings when at rest.
