Richardiid Fly, Richardia sp. (Richardiidae: Richardiinae)

Yasuní National Park, Prov. Orellana, Ecuador

Species of Richardia have characteristically bulbous hind femora. This individual was feeding on a glob of organic matter. Shortly after the photo was taken, a wasp approached but was quickly warded off by a display from the fly.
