Unidentified fly at Lost Pond. (Anyone?)




Nearly full summer lushness conditions. This is why I would find it difficult to live in the desert.


Moist conditions make terrestrial gastropods happy. A dusky slug, I believe.


We saw many of these snails, shaped like pond snails, but far from the water.




One of the highlights was this blue mold-like organism. Alexis went back the next day to photograph it, and the blue fuzzy parts had changed into white chunky crystal-like bits.

Fly- maybe a Stable Fly (Muscidae)?

Blue Mould- early stage Slime Mould?

Alexis' photos clinched it - the slime mold is Ceratiomyxa

Hi - your unidentified fly reminds me of pics of the oriental fruit fly - a serious ag pest.
Your blog is lovely. Thank you for making it available.
