These are ALL OVER our backyard and I wanted to know what they are, and if they bite/sting. I’m very afraid of them. They look almost like little flying ants or wasps. All responses are appreciated!! Thanks!
What kind of bug is this??
These will neither bite nor sting as they are picture-winged flies (family Ulidiidae). The species is Delphinia picta, see https://www.cirrusimage.com/flies_delphinia_picta/
Oh thanks so much!!
