This small (4-5mm) fly is often found in forest, especialy near dung and carrion. It has very slow helicopter-like flight.

Thank you Kahis. My second question was "is it known that this Hybotidae is larviparous?" Instead of this question I put another one: Is the fact of larvipary of this fly prooves that it is O.glabricula?  Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Hi Nikita, O. glabricula is correct. "is it known that this Hybotidae is larviparous?" - This fact is well documented. Let me know if you would like to have references. All the best, Igor  |

Thank you Igor. "is it known that this Hybotidae is larviparous?" - This fact is well documented. It's a pity, I spend a lot of time collecting 1-st instar larvae in alcochol  Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
