Stratiomyidae: Soldier Flies

                                          Soldier Flies: Stratiomyidae

                                            This family favors stream environments; some larvae are aquatic. The first two were found near a stream and pond,
                                            respectively. The gold & black soldier Fly is common at Ulistac, a dry area, but fairly near Guadalupe Creek.

                                            Characteristics of this family: flattened abdomen and wings folded directly over each other, making it hard to see the venation.
