Hi, I think that the two flies on the bee are Drosophila, does anyone know which species or group the nearest one may be? These were in the South of England. Thanks Dave Barfly attached the following image: [279.28Kb] Edited by Barfly on 23-06-2018 07:38 |

Probably Desmometopa, commonly found on captured honey bees. Even in North America where honey bees are not native. |

These are Desmometopa but species of other genera can possibly be found, too.
