A little help.
“Hi Bug Girl, I was wondering if you could help me ID this little guy. It was photographed in Melbourne, Australia. I think it might be a Bibionidae sp, but I’m unsure. Any help will be greatly appreciated!”
Hi Brock! I wish I could help but most Diptera are way beyond my amateur bug identifying capabilities…especially, Australian Diptera! Perhaps, someone else will be able to help! Beautiful photo and blog.

If Australian Diptera adhere to similar rules of Identification as North American Diptera, then I don’t think it is a Bibionidae. Usually there should be a prominent apical spur on the legs, and I can’t make any out from this image. Hope that helps.

An amazing photo! Its so hard to identify anything when you can’t flip it around and look at its details closely.
