Tangle-veined Fly Family Nemestrinidae

Yeah, those names got your attention didn't they? LOL!! Mine too!! :) Sometimes I think it a good thing I did not study entomology as I would have turned grey trying to remember these names one can hardly even pronounce. LOL!!

In trying to identify insects, I have been told that the only way to do so is under a microscope in some instances. Take a look at these pictures and you will see what I mean. 

 Needless to say they are ALL very difficult to get pictures of as they never seem to settle down for long and just as you creep up to them, off they go again. I think my mother should have named me Patience instead of Joan. LOL!!
