Hi, I made a compilation of photos showing probably Lauxaniidae. There is no chance to recognize species by the low magnification, but I think I am right as to Sapromyza (rather common here) and Minettia. The grey one with the striated yellow abdomen could perhaps be a Lyciella? And there were two grey ones sitting on my lilac and eating other flies that looked much like themselves (are there male-eating females like in spiders?). Judging from their habit, I suppose they also belong to Lauxaniidae, but of course I may be absolutely wrong. Confirmation, correction, and identification would be appreciated! Thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [155.24Kb] |
