 Oryctes : France : Lille : 59000 : 08/03/2026 Altitude : 37 m - Taille : 2-3 mm Réf. : 371199  Oryctes : France : Lille : 59000 : 08/03/2026 Altitude : NR - Taille : 2-3 mm Réf. : 371213 Hello, I found this little pair of fruit flies in my garden in Lille (Nord, France) on March 8, 2026. The second photo shows the female just after the male flew away. I think they are of the genus Drosophila, and as for the species, Drosophila subobscura has been suggested to me. Do you think it could be this species ? Thank you in advance for your answers, Dominique |

This could be D. subobscura,as well as some other species of the obscura group. Important characters -male fore tarsi, male and female genitalia, palpi - are not visible. |

Thank you, Jan Maca, for these clarifications. So we cannot name a species here, but being able to identify the group is satisfactory. Dominique |
