Thyreophora cynophila, commonly known as the bone skipper[1] is a species of fly native to Europe. It was once thought to be the first fly to be driven to extinction by humans, but rediscovered in 2009.[1] It has a bright orange head, and is associated with animal carcasses where the bones are broken open.
