User's notes

A follow-up sighting to 4258813 and 4258814. These images show two different types of Native Drone Fly eye structure. The first three images show a fly where the structure of the eye meets at the front of the head. The final two images show one where the eye structure doesn't meet at the front of the head. Both of these eye types appear to be equally common, based on the flies photographed to date.

Assumed to be a female where there is a space between the eyes, and a male where there is no space between the eyes.
