Bee-flies

Crane-Flies

Rather leggy flies commonly called daddy-long-legs. Legs readily break off when handled. Many are only mosquito-sized, but all can be recognised by the V-shaped thoracic suture and the lack of ocelli.

Hoverflies

A Family of about 5000 species, with hovering and darting flight. Body shape very variable. Many mimic bees and wasps.
