I don't know what it could be other than Chloropidae. I have cropped the fly from the original photo so it is as big as it gets. The elongated frons is interesting. I see about 3 bristles on it. Any ideas? Best wishes, John johnes81 attached the following image: [30.88Kb] Edited by johnes81 on 09-09-2019 14:21 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.

Thus, i have spent some time reading about Chloropidae and i wonder if this is a Dicraeus sp? perhaps von Tschirnhaus will visit. Otherwise, i will try to find it again someday. Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.

Member Location: Berlin, Germany Posts: 1978 Joined: 15.10.16	Hello Niels-Jan, I thought abou Agromyzidae also but i don't have alot of material about Agromyzidae. I only have Phytomyza ranunculi identified from this family. I don't have enough experience with Agromyzidae to exclude it. Thank you for the suggestion. Maybe someone can confirm Agromyzida. Whatever it is, i'd like to add it to the gallery because we are missing photos of its genus (I think so). Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.

Thanks, Paul. I'll try to get it to a genus. Maybe i can write to some experts. Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.
