Not really sure how to distinguish immature C. puerperus from immature C. sylvanus, but it was out in open grasses, which I take to be better for the former?

Genus DrapetisObserver
dylapodiformesDescription
Tortoise Burrow Dance Fly (Drapetis n. sp.)
Talked about in Deyrup and Franz 1994 and Deyrup 2011, (slender, 1.75mm empidid fly with yellow legs (Deyrup and Franz 1994). It is only known from tortoise burrows in scrub habitat at four sites in Highlands County, although this apparent rarity may be due in part to inadequate sampling methodology, as the fly appears to be most active in fall, winter and early spring (Deyrup 2011). It appears to be an obligate commensal.)
Inside mouth of active Gopher Tortoise burrow. SO cool to see, seems very common here!
