Very nice – the tachinid is a Peleteria, I think 🙂
Very nice photography.

Great pics! You’d be happy to know I was talking to two kids about flies last night. They now know what a mosquito is! :o)
It is amazing how many people don’t realize that mosquitoes are flies. I’m glad you set them straight.
These are excellent photos, Brian. Flies do not stay still very long, so you had a good eye and were quick to make these excellent captures. Congratulations!
Thanks Jerry.
The bombyliid seems to be Geron. The dolichopodid is a Medetera sp. and the calliphorid is a Calliphora sp.
