Beneficial Bug of The Day: Long-Legged Flies in the Genus Dolichopodidae
I see these pretty little flies often darting among the leaves at CSUN. I was quite surprised to learn they are beneficial predators. According to my Kauffman Guide they dine on mites, aphids and smaller flies. So not only are they easy on the eyes with their metallic bodies but they’re also good for your garden!

Habenaria medusa, native to grasslands of Sumatra, Java, Borneo and Sulawesi. This plant is named after the gorgon Medusa, due to the resemblence of the fimbriated side lobes of the lip to the snakes in her hair. Photographed by Steve Beckendorf.
