Long-legged Fly
Dolichopus ramifer
Adult long-legged flies frequent sunny streambanks, marsh edges, and damp woodland clearings. They rapidly chase down tiny insects and spiders, taking prey from foliage or in short flights. Their metallic sheen and unusually long legs make them conspicuous despite their small size.
