Cephalosphaera furcata...one of the big-headed pipunculids, and a very smart one at that. From oak at Allerthorpe Common in East Yorkshire this morning. @dipteristsforum.bsky.social #pipunculidae #bigheaded

A zoomed in photo of a point mounted big headed fly in the family Pipunculidae. When I saw big headed I mean her head is as big as her thorax. I would bet her body weight is like 90% eyes.
I was really motivated to get some extra work done tonight and the universe has rewarded me for my efforts. #Pipunculidae

Tomosvaryella cilitarsis (I think) female from a bog in Abernethy Forest a couple of weeks ago. A rarely recorded northern species. #Pipunculidae #Diptera
