Hi, Recently I came across this tiny fly - it was in the evening, and the quality of the pictures is bad. Nevertheless I hope that it can receive a family name. Many thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [122.45Kb] |

Family is Ephydridae, I think Limnellia

I thought of Ephydridae, but I know only Limnellia quadrata so far. And here the wing pattern differs. Ok, one more Limnellia - thanks, Nikita! Sundew |

I don't think it is a Limnellia. Perhaps Ilythea or Scatophila instead?

I'd say this was Philygria, probably interstincta
