Hello, This little 2mm Chloropidae is giving me a hard time. CLICK TO ENLARGE  Paul Vignac : France : Mont-Saint-Aignan : 76130 : 15/03/2021 Height : 144 m - Lenght : 2mm Réf. : 277268 CLICK TO ENLARGE  Paul Vignac : France : Mont-Saint-Aignan : 76130 : 15/03/2021 Heigh : 144 m - Length : 2mm Réf. : 277269 I can't identify it with the key at my disposal. On the French forum "le monde des insectes", someone suggested this topic: Elachiptera cf. megaspis Do you think the lead is good? Thank you! Paul Edited by Onmal on 19-03-2021 13:55 |

Thanks a lot! The fly was caught in a city garden with trees, part of which is purposely left untended. |

YouTube's [CC] button does a good job for people like me who can understand some written French but little spoken French. |
