What's this Bug?

 


Actually I believe that these are flies, not bugs, but I would love to know what they are beyond that generality.

We found them a couple of days ago near the Sara Lib Road quarry.




Also, here are some dragonflies that need monikers. 

Thanks in advance! (If they were birds I would either know, or know where and how to look...insects, not so much)

And while we are at it, I forgot the name of this millipede. I don't think it's Milly, but it might be.

    The bug is a snipe fly, Chrisopilus thoracicus. The dragonfly is a common whitetail. The millipede looks like Apheloria virginiensis.

    Thank you, Denny! I am not much of a bug person and the flies were entirely new to me.
