Fruit fly (Euaresta bella) on ragweed

These tiny (about 5mm) flies with the bright green eyes are found commonly on ragweeds, which is their only known larval plant (the larvae feed on the ragweed seeds). But you have to really look to see them as they are so small. But worth the effort because so pretty!
