June 10. Dunes near Patara, so at sea level. Area elaborately innundated with brackish water during winter and spring, drying up in June. Sandy with sparse vegetation in some parts, large Juncus type vegetation elsewhere. Small fly - like yellow pinhead drifting by.

I have a specimen of this superb little fly from Greece, i suspect this is Platypygus ridibundus but it appears to be different to the ridibundus in the gallery (from Spain?). I suspect there are two yellow species confused under this name |

Thanks for both Platypygi. I'll prudently hedge them with 'cf'.

WHAT???  This MUST BE among the most beautiful fly on the Earth! Undoubtless! I still don't believe in this... it seems so unreal! Mythicomyiids are really awesome tiny beasts! |

Welcome back Jorge! Yes, it's a gem, for sure. Although you might have slightly - but just slightly - overstated your case... 
Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |

It is not melinoproctus. I have this species from Greece, it is ridibundus or very close to it. ridibundus is variable from orange to yellow. |
