Size ca. 3.5 mm. Observed around 8 p.m. in an overgrown clearing on a fallen Pinus sylvestris (supported by another tree at 30 degrees, with Clusioides ruficollis on decorticated wood at its broken base). Spent quite a while chasing them up and down the trunk. [Title changed] Dmitry Gavryushin attached the following image:  [118.15Kb] Edited by Dmitry Gavryushin on 07-06-2007 11:46 |

With some characters not visible it is not easy for me to run it through the key, but it could be Allopiophila luteata, so Piophilidae and not Psilidae.

Many thanks Paul - frankly, I suspected it's Piophilidae, so no wonder I ran the key for Psilidae in vain - but why on a tree trunk and not carrion? |

Maybe some decaying fungi or other decaying matter give of the same odour as some carrion?

Paul is right, Allopiophila luteata (Haliday) |
