This little fly measured about 2 mm and was photographed August 4th at my mercury vapor lamp. West Virginia, USA, near woodland. I would love to know what family. Stephen attached the following image:  [65.85Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Cecidomyiidae?

Cecidomyiidae - the venation looks very like that of Contarinia, but I don't know how many other genera look the same!
