Happy World Bee Fly Day! I'll take any chance to show off these cuties we found hiding out in the Creosote during a rain storm at Beaver Dam Wash in UT! Lordotus and lots of Anastoechus (iirc). #FlyWeek #Fliesarecool #WorldBeeFlyDay

For #WorldRobberFlyDay I'd like to show off some of the cool robber fly merch I've gotten from some super talented artists! The plush Proctacanthus is definitely one of my favorites, so she gets to sit on some of my favorite fly books! 😍 #FlyWeek #entomologistsareeasytogetgiftsfor

Sometimes when I get tired of staring at my computer screen, I stare at Flick instead. Anyone else have monitor friends?

Not my photo, but the hunchbacked bee fly, Lepidophora sp, is one of my favorite little guys, it's like he's been squished 😭

My favorite part of winter break is that any work I do feels so much more substantial, because no one is "expecting" it! And, I get to hang out with the best cat in the world!

Happy #BlackFlyDay! Today I have a little Mallophora I took a photo of in New Mexico, who is at least partially black! (Sorry Simuliidae, I don't have any decent photos of you, but I still think you are lovely ♥️)

I've had the privilege of working with and meeting lots of neat (mostly #scarab) #beetles. I really love when they have big ol' watery eyes ♥️
I've always been too nervous to post the photos I take, (since all I have right now is a cell phone camera), but I've decided the best time to start is now!
