Hi,

a few days ago, I took a few pictures of a tiny, orange and black fly with patterned wings. My best guess would be a Opomyzidae and Geomyza sp. might be a good match. Is it possible to identify the fly from the pictures?

Germany, Southern Bavaria, Munich (-West), leaf, 24.05.2024, app. 4 mm

Greetings, Uli

Either a female of G. nartshukae or G. tripunctata. You need to study sternite 8 to make sure.

Hi Jan Willem!

Thank you for the ID, that is more than I have hoped for. Unfortunately, these are the only pictures I have, so it will be left undecided.

Greetings, Uli

Hi again!

Actually, the fly was crawling over the edge if the leaf and I found one usable (i.e. in focus) picture, that shows at least a part of the underside, but I am not really sure if it shows the 8. Sternite. Is it helpful?

Greetings, Uli

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
