hello flyforum, I thought this is Fanniidae sp.? The wing got a bit green-blue-ish shining. I found this fly on a leave, some legs are missing? Perhabs some spider's work? What kind of fly is it? Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [102.24Kb] |

The unusual shape of the abdomen and the pronounced mouth margin allow for a species-level identification: Fannia mollissima! It's a widespread spring/early summer species.

I did not expect species-level.. Thank you for the explanation of this species. |
