Hi flyforum Smile

Taken today, 27th August 2006 in Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL.

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.

Not Chloropidae - the yellow species are never as bristly as this appears to be. I think this is Palloptera (Pallopteridae). Paul may be able to suggest a species.

I'd rather say it is Lauxaniidae...

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! Wink

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