Another from today's collection with continued apologies for the poor quality due to the low light (that's MY story!). Could it be a Geomyza? Photographed near Rome, Italy, 23-11-2005. Thanks, Sarah |

Hi Sarah, Before long you will be the expert giving advice to others. You seem to be learning quickly in a wide range of families. I have to admit that my knowledge is limited to a small number of families. In this case you are indeed dealing with a member of the genus Geomyza. It is a nice picture of the female of Geomyza tripunctata. In southern Europe Geomyza tripunctata often has a rather reddish thorax, but this specimen looks more like the ones we find in The Netherlands. Jan Willem |
