Hi, does anybody know what this is? I often see these on top of straw bales in the morning. I take the photo on 24 March 2014 Kokkola, Finland. Pentti. Pentti Ketola attached the following image: [52.73Kb] Edited by Pentti Ketola on 25-03-2014 16:00 |

Thank you John! Copromyza stercoraria makes sense. It’s more common in the area. Pentti. Edith; I then captured the fly, brought it home and took more shots after needling it. PS. Pentti Ketola attached the following image: [52.86Kb] Edited by Pentti Ketola on 24-03-2014 16:48 |

Looks like Copromyza, indeed. Dust pattern on anepisternum (mesopleuron) seems to indicate equina.
