This fly appears when I realized that some pillbugs (Isopoda) were died... Chloropidae fly? If so, is it possible genus? About 3 mm (?). Very small indeed. jorgemotalmeida attached the following image: [193.04Kb]

Again... but the wings haven?t marks in wings... as I see in dipter gallery, and abdomen tip is not so angular... but a little round tip... yes, it's true that this fly has bristles. In some way, this fly seems so much interested in pillbugs... Thanks! Wait for more answers!

It is a good dessert from Viseu. And it is, indeed, very sweet... so, you would have lots of glycosis. But, look out for flies... because they like a lot of "Viriato". )
