The eyes look slightly flatter than the black fly.

Yeah, after thinking it over, I don't think that black flies have that sharp of a body form.hpfananu wrote: Is it a...deer/horse fly? Class 4?

Re: Water Quality ID
The trick is that the fly is black though (lol). The easiest way to tell is just the eyes though because usually most pictures give you a clear view of the eyes.tornado guy wrote:Yeah, after thinking it over, I don't think that black flies have that sharp of a body form.hpfananu wrote: Is it a...deer/horse fly?
