From just north of Stockholm, Sweden today. This tiny fly was found on (what I think are) fox droppings. There where also bluebottles and this fly was about half their size. It looked like "she" was laying eggs into the droppings ...

Edit: Changed subject (Unknown diptera)

Hi Crex
It's an anthomyiid female. I collected some very similar flies on dog dung a couple of weeks ago, but haven't identified them yet. (see picture) A very large number of anthomyiid species feed on dung of various sorts. Great photo opportunities, as long as you're up-wind! Grin
