Funky #FlyDay
Empis clausa
Family Empididae (Dance Flies)
I'd tell you more about this particular species, but not much has been written. Dance flies in general are insect predators--especially mosquitoes--and dance in groups to attract females. Males give their mates a nuptial gift to eat while they mate.
