Finally an easy one! I've been getting desperate: maybe this, probably that Grin

This is a Scaptomyza (Drosophilidae). Most species have a number of colour forms. This one looks like the very typical 'dark morph' of S. pallida, a very common fly practically everywhere. pallida is easy to identify under a microscope since it has onle two rows of acrostichal setae along the mid-dorsal stripe; all other European species have 4 ac rows (I lie but only slightly, S. clavigera from the Azores is also two-rowed).

Kyll? ne joskus ovat n?in tummia, eik? ainoastaan Scaptomyza-suvussa. My?s Drosophilassa on kokotummia lajeja.

Oooops...Pfft! It just sort of slips out sometimes. Let's try again - Great! I had thought of a Drosophila, but I had never seen one so dark before! Is that better Wink Sarah

1. This is definitely a male of Scaptomyza pallida.
2. The species of the Drosophila obscura group are even darker: black with reddish eyes and usually yellowish legs.
