Hi, This small fly was busy on ivy in Berlin on 8th October. I think it could be Hydrellia maura or H. griseola, but I don't know how to tell them apart. Help is appreciated! Thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [300.05Kb] Edited by Sundew on 17-11-2023 20:08 |

Brown dusting extends onto the notopleuron, so that suggests this is H. albiceps (= H. maura)

Ah - H. maura has become a synonym, good to know. Many thanks for the enlightenment! |
