Description:

Sepsidae are a family of flies, commonly called the Black Scavenger Flies or Ensign Flies.
There are approximately 250 species worldwide.

Many species resemble ants having a "waist" and glossy black body.
Many Sepsidae have a curious wing-waving habit made more apparent by dark patches at the wing end.
