Hello! This is a fly I often meet in the wild grass in my garden. On the insecte.org forum it has been identifed as Sapromyza sp. but I have been invited to ask Diptera.info for confirmation. So could someone confirm or help going further? The fly is about 4 or 5 mm long. This one has been met on July 27th, 2005 in Puchay (Normandy), France. I usually see this fly from mid-spring to summer. Not sure it is always the same specie but I see no difference, and always those dots on the abdomen. It does not fly a lot. It rather walks on the grass going forth and back, when not still.   Here are wings, if it helps (same place +/- 10 metres, same day, another specimen).  I also met this one, more hairy and I wonder wether it is the same specie/genera? (same place, may 17th, 2007)  I regularly meet other flies without the spots (at least less visible on my photos, but perhaps an angle and/or point of focus cause? or because abdomen is smaller and spots are hidden under other segments?) and with a more narrow abdomen (sharper at the end). Male/female difference? (same place, june, 23rd, 2006)  Thank you for your answers! Edited by SpinH on 15-06-2007 21:33 Daniel |

Sapromyza opaca, I think.
