I photographed this fly indoors last month. I think it was 3 or 4 mm long, though I didn't measure it at the time. Can anyone help identify it, please? Regards, Martin Martin Cooper attached the following image:  [148.63Kb] Edited by Martin Cooper on 24-03-2014 19:22 |

Thanks for that clue! Checking on possible UK species, I came across Pachygaster atra: black, rotund, scutellum without spines. I then found an image that looked very much like mine: http://en.wikiped...080122.JPG. So maybe this was one of those? Next time I see one I will take a closer look! Thanks again for giving me the family. Best wishes, Martin |
