From Southern Norway, July 22. Small size, smaller than Phasia hemiptera that was feeding on the same flower. ID-help needed. Thanks. Leif Leif G attached the following image:  [105.65Kb] |

In America these Lucilia-like flies with only one pair of postsutural acrostichals are Neomyia. I don't know about Europe. |

Thanks John. We got two species of Neomyia in Norway, cornicina and viridescens. From this I suppose my fly is Neomyia cornicina, the most common of the two. Leif |

I can't see if it has prst acr, but with 3 post dc it should be Neomyia cornicina indeed. The purple colour says : I'm very old now. Stephane. |

Thanks for the final confirmation and the words about the colour. I didn't know this. Leif |
