The habitat photo is also excellent! Now, if only we could find a name for the fly...

I forgot two things : 1. if it is Myennis, it is an Ulidiidae. 2. John or someone else have to confirm my guess. Stephane. |

Myennis, Ulidiidae is correct I think. I recently found a lot of these flies associated with some fungi. I also mistook them for Tephritids.

One of the most beautiful Ulidiids, indeed Myennis octopunctata. Larvae live under the bark of Populus. John |
