I love black - These flies just sat on anything black and attacked it. They appeared to be biting the 4WD tires and tops of our boots as well. Fortunately they left us alone.ID from mgjeffries Jan 2009

A large fly (Larger than a blowfly) hanging on a stalk in January. It wasn't very concerned at my approach or my taking photos.It was unusual in that it seemed to be the same colour all over except for the darker wings and the stripe on the eye.

I wore black trousers today. I was lucky as the local 'March flies' are attracted by black, so this fly was sitting on my black jeans.I have never known this particular fly to bite but must remember that others do. It won't be long before the biting ones arrive. These flies are so pretty.
