Hi, I think Sciapus is correct, but can anyone give a species? We have 9 species.. http://www.dipter...hp?id=9349 14th June, my garden near Lincoln UK. I also got I think a male on the 15th which looks to be the same species, posting separately. Size ~7mm Thanks!

the front femur is quite typical.

Well, you know, Janet, sometimes dipterology is no simple...on other occasions though.......

I sometimes think I shouldn't bother too because of the difficulties, but on some occasions I get results when I don't expect it. We don't have this one in the gallery and I have both male and female! http://cubits.org... |
