Nice picture Joke! A beautiful fly isn't it? It is indeed a female of Geomyza tripunctata. I hardly ever find this species before May (but have seen several specimens collected earlier in the year by other dipterists). In The Netherlands this is one of the most common opomyzid species.

It is one of the earliest flies here in Finland and I regularly find it as soon as the snow melts (in late March on the southern coast). I'd say it overwinters as an adult. Perhaps you hardly ever collect flies before May?

I spend more time at identifying material collected by others. It is possible that the others don't collect very often before May, because I hardly ever find specimens collected before May in collections of other dipterists.I would be very interested in your data on Finish Opomyzidae!
