I think this orange coloured fly is probably a scathophagid but it's not one I recognize. 10mm long from rough grass. Peter peterbolson attached the following image: [65.74Kb] |

Thanks Andrzej. It's not a family I've come across before so that's good. Looking through other postings, could it be Tetanocera phyllophora/elata, which looks similar & doesn't have striped eyes ? Regards Peter |

Thanks Stephane. Hopefully I will recognize the family next time Is it possible to edit the thread title so that it isn't so misleading ? Edited by peterbolson on 27-06-2010 18:29 |
