“Flies”

True Flies (Order Diptera) have only one set of wings and very short antenna.

For convenience, we will also include Dragonflies and Damselflies (Order Odonata) in this gallery of native “Flies” photographed at Vale Park, even though both of these have 2 sets of wings.

If you wish to contribute a picture to these galleries, please email your local nature photographs to David Whiting (davidwhiting@internode.on.net) along with permission to display the photograph and the location, date taken and photographers name.
