Anthomyia

Anthomyia is a genus of fly in the family Anthomyiidae.[1] They look rather like small houseflies, but are commonly conspicuously-patterned black-and-white in colour.[2] This appears to be a mild form of aposematic coloration, though they do not appear to be distasteful unless they have eaten something offensive to the predator and have loaded their guts with it.
