Two Flies and their Eyes.
Here are a couple of flies for your viewing pleasure. The fly in the first shots, is, I believe, one of the Tachinids. These are parasitic flies that lay their eggs on other insect hosts. The fly in the second and third shots I'm not too sure about. If there are any dipterists here on Steemit, please feel free to opine as to their identity. I will update this post if I can figure out precisely what they are before the week is up.
Notice the wide gap between the eyes in the first photo. This indicates it is a female. The other fly is a male with larger eyes that come right up against each other.
