Hello,
I have keyed this fly out to Clusiidae, using Oosterbroek. From there I attempted to get further with Stubbs (1982), but I'm not really convinced by either determination and I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction please?
Found on 2020-11-22 in a field on young crop in North Shropshire, not far from manure heap.
- Body length ~ 8mm.
- Cannot see any spots on wings. R4+5 not forked. Haltere orange. Vein Sc complete; separate from R1 and does not meet costa near R1.
Hi, Found this little fly sitting on a newly-delivered parcel. Working through the tephritids in the Diptera.info gallery, it looks like tephritis divisa, but I'd really welcome confirmation before I irecord it. Not a lovely picture, but I think the wing patterns are pretty clear.
Hi,
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.
