This is a picture of a Bibio articulatus at Rock Creek Regional Park in Rockville, Maryland.
Spotted in vegetation by the trail in Colquitz River Park in Saanich. Only time I've ever seen one of these. It was clinging to the tip of a blade of grass in the very early morning. It wasn't very energetic and lingered in place, which allowed me to take multiple shots of it.
Some kind of fly? Suggestions & googe lens are showing me things that are red/orange near the head; this bug is red at the other end.
