What fly has a black body with wings right near its head and bright orange legs? Also the body looks like it is split in two with just a little connector. It has quite a big stinger.

Definately NOT a stable fly. I looked it up and that looks like a regular house fly. What chickenpoo2 is describing is exactly what I saw today and the stable fly does NOT at all match the describtion. This thing is much larger than a regular fly and the wings were kindof skinny and black. The legs were bright orange and pretty darn long, almost like a daddy long legs spider. It had one hell of a long stinger that was also black and it moves very slowly across the ground frequently sticking its stinger in the ground like it was laying eggs. Still don't know what it is called. May 29 07, 12:28 PM

This looks like it may fit the description. common name: sapote fruit fly, serpentine fruit fly scientific name: Anastrepha serpentina (Wiedemann) (Insecta: Diptera: Tephritidae) Adult: The adult is a medium sized to fairly large, dark brown fly, marked with pale yellow and orange-brown. Dorsum of thorax dark brown with yellow markings. Wing 7.25 to 8.5 mm long, the bands predominantly dark brown; costal and S bands rather broadly coalescent, the hyaline areas to each side of the juncture rarely touching vein R4+5; no distal arm to V band, the proximal arm slender, entirely separated from S band. Dorsum of abdomen dark brown marked with brownish yellow and orange. Legs vary from pale yellow to brownish yellow or brown on one side and pale yellow on the other. http://creatures.ifas.ufl.edu/fruit/tropical/sapote_fruit_fly.htm Larger picture: http://creatures.ifas.ufl.edu/fruit/tropical/sapote_01.htm May 29 07, 1:47 PM

Or you may be looking at a crane fly. Check the picture of Ctenophora dorsalis (female) here: http://iz.carnegiemnh.org/cranefly/tipulinae.htm May 29 07, 2:00 PM

What fly had a black body with wings right near its head and bright orange legs? Also the body looks like it is split in two with just a little connector. It has quite a big stinger. I hope this makes sense - Sometimes, when I watch a film, I see, just for a fraction of a second, what looks like a small black circle in the top right-hand side of the picture. This may happen several times during a film. Has anybody else noticed this, and if so, can you explain why? I'm looking for the name of a movie with an Asian girl and a white guy as the main characters. I can't remember exactly what it was about, something like the world was ending and right before everything went down they shot each other in the head and there is a big white bright flash in the movie. Does anyone know what movie this is? Whhose logo features apair of wings attached to what looks like a wheel? What animal has testicles on its head?
