Thank you Dr Chris Lambkin for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~9mm long. We thought it was a Flower-loving Fly (Apiocera sp). However, it's got coloured wings, longer than the body and a short tongue which don't match Flower-loving flies very well. | |||||
