Hello, In the south of France, on 11 October 2018 on ivy. Small diptera of about 3 to 3.5 mm. From the top of the head to the end of the wings = 4.5 mm measured. I only have this picture and I don't know if identification is possible. Thank you for your help. Liliane D attached the following image:  [223.23Kb] Edited by Liliane D on 19-10-2018 18:32 |

Thank you very much Nikita, I learn that the genus Coenosia is composed of predatory flies. It is therefore not on ivy for nectar but for some prey attracted by flowering. |
