	Soldier Fly The soldier flies (Stratiomyidae, sometimes misspelled as Stratiomyiidae, from Greek - soldier; - fly) are a family of flies (historically placed in the now-obsolete group Orthorrhapha). The family contains over 2,700 species in over 380 extant genera worldwide. Larvae are found in a wide array of locations, mostly in wetlands, damp places in soil, sod, under bark, in animal excrement, and in decaying organic matter. Adults are found near larval habitats. They are diverse in size and shape, though they commonly are partly or wholly metallic green, or somewhat wasplike mimics, marked with black and yellow or green and sometimes metallic. They are often rather inactive flies which typically rest with their wings placed one above the other over the abdomen. The Stratiomyinae are a subfamily that tend to have an affinity to aquatic environments. Etymology In English, the Stratiomidi are commonly called soldier flies, in German ''Waffenfliegen'' ("armed flies"). In the Italian l ...

	Opaluma Rupaul ''Opaluma rupaul'' is a species of Australian soldier fly, first described in 2020. Specimens of ''O. rupaul'' had been previously collected but left unstudied and were misidentified as belonging to the genus '' Lecomyia''. Description ''O. rupaul'' is between in length, with the males between and females between . It can be distinguished from '' O. sapphira'' by the green-copper colouration of the scutum and abdomen, white setae on the scutum, longer denticles (bristle structures) on the scutellum, more hyaline (transparent) wings, and differences with the male terminalia. Etymology The species was named after RuPaul, an American drag queen, which was an "obvious decision" according to Lessard due to its "costume of shiny metallic rainbow colours" which resembles drag costumes. Other species described at the same time were named ''O. ednae'' (after fellow drag queen Dame Edna Everage) and ''O. fabulosa''. One of the biologists who described it, CSIRO scientist Bry ...
