Hi, I have photographed this fly on a mushroom yesterday in Chambourcy, 20km West of Paris. Length about 8-9mm. seems to be very attracted by mushrooms. Any idea of its identity? Thanks, FRV FRV attached the following image: [174.83Kb] |

Hymenoptera. I saw a similar wasp recently on a mushroom covered in Drosophilidae. I suspected it was one of the Braconidae that parasitize flies. |

Hello FRV, Not everything with wings is a fly. The very long antennae and constricted abdomen and very small eyes in relation to the head and the large stigma in the wing all point to the order Hymenoptera. Probably a Braconidaeā¦ Kind regards, Ectemnius |
