Location: Near Stockholm, Sweden Date: 2007-SEP-02 Habitat: Mushroom on dead Picea abies Size: 4-5 mm This small fly was stuck upside down on the mushroom. I wanted to look on it's upside. Not sure if it was damaged before or if I accidentally hurt it when loosening it ... Drosophilidae?

Drosophilidae? I don't think so. I think it is Heleomyzidae, something like Morpholeria... Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

the third photo is funny. Look at thos "lips"  crex you should put lipstick in those "lips". I'm almost sure that this is not Drosophilidae.  |

Thank you Nikita! Interesting to see that the length of the legs are so different. The hind legs are chubby and short, the tibia of middle legs are long ... |

It's a pity mine was damaged. It looks like Ben Hamers Odinia sp in the gallery ... |

As with all Odinids the taxonomy is still in need of some in depth revision but - judging by the fact that it was taken on Picea in Scandinavia and its relatively large size I would hazard a guess that it is O. czernyi which I have seen numerous examples reared from Picea in Finland and aslo a few from the same tree in Scotland.
