Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
This guy looks like he can't decide if he's a fly or a mosquito (too big for a mosquito)

Not sure on that one Ian. Looks like a cross between a horse-fly and a robber fly? Definitely a biting fly of some sort. Not a mosquito.

Thats a really nice profile shot.

Thanks! He's much smaller than a house fly but several times the size of a mosquito.
 
Mosquitos are bigger here in florida lol.
Looks like a robber but im not sure.
Nice shot too!
 
That is a flysquito. Only found in Arizona, it is a hybrid fly/mosquito...
 
This doesn't look like anything weird to me. Just looks like a species of Dolichopodidaie (long-legged) fly. Here's one that is very similar in stance and appearance...only main difference being the hair and possibly eye color.

Nice shot. I think there was a giant insect party and a fly and mosquito had a little too much to drink and...
 
And there you go. We were all wrong lol. I knew I have seen one like that before just couldnt remember.
