Natural Science Forum / Biology / Entomology / August 2008

I hope I'm doing this correctly.
I've been attempting to identify a butterfly - images taken in Elkton,
Douglas County, Oregon on May 19, 2008.  The people at BugGuide
suggested I contact you.

I was out photographing bees today and this flew into shot.
I don't recognise it and I have looked it up but no luck.

Any ideas what it is?

Wonder if anybody can help with this one ...

Thanks much!

This morning I've found this strange insect on my window (Milan -
Milano - Italy)
I want to identify it, it seems a mosquito.
The total lenght is about 3 cm (approx 1,20 inches)

I've researched flies on manure and find many types.  The one
I see on this dung is not found.  I thought it was a white fly
but that is all white.  These flies have black heads and white
wings.  They are quite small, sort of like no-seeums.

Florida's butterflies are dwindling.  I knew that already.  The FDOT
will not still the roadside mowers, where the wildflowers are.  In Bay
County, where I live, they tried to form a coalition for butterflies

Everyone,
The link for the unidentified dusky-wing is long and broken, therefore
try this instead:
