This is probably a Sepsidae sp!? From midwest Sweden 2006-10-12. I think the size might have been something like 5-6 mm. One thing I noticed on this fly that I hadn't thought of before - the wing pattern isn't symmetrical, i.e. wing venation isn't the same on both wings.

Edit: Changed subject (Sepsidae sp)

Hello
What means dc in "1 pair of dc setas"
It's the two setae on the border of the thorax ?

Vi kanske ska h?lla oss till engelska h?r eller ...?

Is it possible to tell what gender it is? Perhaps we need to see the end of the abdomen to know?
