Beameromyia chrysops
Golden-eyed Pixie
Beameromyia chrysops is a small robber fly species in the family Asilidae, first described by Martin in 1957. The species is commonly known as the 'Golden-eyed Pixie,' a name reflecting its diminutive size and likely eye coloration. As a member of the Asilidae, it is a predatory fly that captures other insects in flight. The genus Beameromyia contains species of small, often inconspicuous robber flies that are poorly documented in the scientific literature.
