\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There are several families of somewhat similar nematoceran flies, and Ian and I (Jeremy Tatum) have been struggling for a while to sort them out.\u00a0 However, last night Ian managed to get good close-ups of the top of the head of one of them, clearly showing three ocelli.\u00a0 This places the insect in the Family Trichoceridae\u00a0 (Winter Gnats).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
