Hello, In the south of France on October 12, 2022. On the Ivy. Length of the body 4 mm. The picture is very bad but can we find the family? Thanks for your advice Liliane D attached the following image:  [146.21Kb] Edited by Liliane D on 04-11-2022 11:17 |

Thank you very much John, This single photo will not help to determine a genus in Sciaridae. I read that the larvae of Sciaridae feed on decomposing wood but is this the case for all genera of this family? Edited by Liliane D on 04-11-2022 11:19 |
