Hi, I can see many families in this but can't pin it down to any! One pic only, feeding on Ground Elder. A car scared it off!  This was near a drain at the front of my garden, near Lincoln UK. 13th June Janet blowave attached the following image:  [80.28Kb] Edited by blowave on 23-06-2011 22:01 http://cubits.org... |

Alas, no: male Microphor (Microphorinae, Dolichopodidae).

Aaaah, thanks Paul, I knew I had seen those antennae before! I've had two other Microphor sp. http://diptera.in...d_id=35364 http://diptera.in...ost_157642 Maybe I can put this one in the Gallery as Microphor sp. as we don't have any, it's a slightly better photo than the other one. Roger, I'll show you the door.

I will try to see if I can put a species name on it tomorrow. I am out of literature at home.

Microphor crassipes. They could creep through the cracks between the door and the doorpost. Whether they will...? Perhaps when roger is lurking outside...

Thanks Paul, I will upload the pic for the gallery. This leaves the two remaining species I had, which I think are different species as I had a poor pic of a female 10 minutes before the male in the greenhouse (in one of the links above). I should upload that photo to the thread, we only have three species of Microphor and it looks like I have them all! One is down, two to juggle as to which is which. Oh yes, forgot to say, if I was outside and saw that hairy face I would crawl through the gap to the inside as well..
