Long-legged Fly on Grapes

While I was in Moab over Labor-Day Weekend, I saw several long-legged flies prowling around for gnats and other edible fliers smaller than themselves. This one stopped on the grapevines long enough for me to get a picture. I like watching the dolichopodidae flies because they are lightning fast both on wing and on foot. They’ll stop to eat or rest but they don’t seem to have a slow speed: it’s always go go go!
