This little guy wanted a drink with me. Unfortunately he slipped on the glass and fell down into the single malt. I took it out but he drunk too much and staggered on the table while I took these photos. The wings were still wet but we see some details that could help for ID ... I hope. He was about 3 mm long and the pics were taken in Southwestern France yesterday evening. Similar pics on the web let me think it could be this genus. Lippo attached the following image:  [193Kb] |

Important details are obscured. I would think that it is a melanogaster-group species. There seem to be only a few aristal branches, but some may be glued to arista or broken... Anterior margin of wing seems to be darkened, but it may be to its wetting, as this is no seen in lateral aspect... I would say more if I could see the fly, not only these pictures. |

This time it is a male. Drosophila simulans, a member of melanogaster group. |

Ah OK, thanks, So the first one could well be a female of the same species ? |
