Diptera: flies

Many of the diptera from the Liaoning formation are very well preserved with excellent wing and leg preservation. Probably an indicator of quick burial.



Beautiful venation on this fly.


L.DIP-02


Not sure what this is.

L.DIP-03


Very nice mosquito.

L.DIP-04


Another mosquito.

L.DIP-05


Now this is very interesting; it appears to be a large fly, possibly a bott fly or horsefly. Large eyes on the specimen. There's also another insect on this piece.
