Well, familiy level would be OK, everything below a bonus! I saw these copulating flies in Amstelveen, the Netherlands, on 18 April 2007 (they may be really early, because that April was HOT by Dutch standards).

Medium sized, some 5 - 7 mm. Habitat: playing ground grass land surrounded by shrubs and medium sized trees.

May be Ophyra?? Any better suggestion is welcome!

It's way out of my expert league, but Ophyra was my first guess as well.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
