Golden-eyed fly

What is a "golden-eyed fly"?

A golden-eyed fly is a small insect with distinctive golden-colored eyes that belongs to the family Diopsidae. These flies are known for their unique eye structure and behavior. They have elongated, tube-like projections on their heads that house their large, bulbous eyes. The golden-eyed fly is often found in wooded areas or near water sources. The adults feed on nectar and pollen, playing a role in pollination. They are also known for their elaborate courtship displays, with males performing intricate dances to attract females. Despite their striking appearance, not much is known about the biology and ecology of golden-eyed flies, making them a subject of ongoing research and fascination among entomologists.
