Snake Fly by Laura Milholland

Apparently it can raise its neck and tilt its head separately,
kind of like a giraffe - or, I guess a snake. :)

Great shot of this unusual (to me) fly.

I've seen these things. Pretty wild looking bug. They look a little like a green lace wing bug although I don't think their neck is as long

Interesting, well-caught shot, Laura. There's such an amazing variety of flies.
