Yesterday I spent some tim in the forest(Amsterdam) and found some small flies on rumex acetosa. These flies remind me of Chlorops-sp., but in this different world of tiny flies everything could be different! I tried to make a good picture of it but the wind spoils a lot.. What kind of fly is this? greeting, Robert Heemskerk Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [53.24Kb] |

Thank you very much Nikita. Agromyzidae is a enormous group I read, we have almost 5000 native species!  'Good picture of flying of fly'; specific fly-behaviour of this kind of fly? or generality? I remember that the fly was moving it's frontlegs fast in the air before lifting of.., maiby that's what you meant with it. greetings, Robert |

Hi Robert, Agromyzidae is indeed a large family. As far as I know identification of specimens of this family is a job for specialists. Certainly for females (as in the case of your specimen). Jan Willem |
