Help with identifications, field craft and other topics relating to Diptera
This fly is only 1mm long, and looks like a dolichopodid to me, but doesn't seem to match the descriptions for the only really tiny dolis that I am aware of. So maybe it isn't a doli, or maybe there are tiny dolis that I'm not aware of (which is very likely!). Does anyone recognise it? (From the New Forest in August.)
Back in July, I found a lovely little gall fly on a patch of common fleabane, and ID'd as Myopites apicatus (using diptera.info galleries).
Hi I captured this specimen in my garden on Saturday. Unusual very flattened hind femora, any help with ID would be great.
I have two specimens of this Eustalomyia species. Is it possible to determine as E. hilaris from my very poor photos!
This keys straight-forwardly to Sylvicola punctatus. Cell M1 pointed and no patterning on the wing tips. Can someone confirm I've got that right?
Can somebody help me with the ID for this fly? I have been looking for a possible match but can't find anything that could direct me to even the family.
It was find near water, a very small fly and difficult to photograph. Thank you
I found this fly in my garden about 3 weeks ago. It was very territorial, chasing anything flying by. I think it may be an anthomyiidae ?
I found this fly on ivy a week ago, on the seaside (South Gower). I just don't know where to start .... Can somebody help me with this? Thank you.
