As it was raining, I have not gone to the wetland ... I put a very ripe fruit on my terrace, and small midges have gone ... The pictures are from different specimens, but in my opinion, I think they are all the same species. Photograph taken on November, 03 2012, in terrace housing in urban areas, Motril, Granada, Spain. Immediate area of the Mediterranean coast. Apparent size with wings, about 2,5 mm Appreciate your cooperation for identification.- Best regards Maherjos attached the following image:  [101.04Kb] Edited by Maherjos on 04-11-2012 21:05 |

I think Drosophila simulans - certainly Drosophila (Sophophora) melanogaster group, and therefore likely to be Drosophila melanogaster or Drosophila simulans. I think the very narrow gena, and the failure of the black bands to reach the edge of tergites points strongly to Dsim over Dmel.

With your guidance I edit the title, hoping that some other specialist also wants to give us their opinion. Except dissenting opinion, I guess, as Drosophila simulans, I can upload to gallery. ? Best regards. |
