Hi! - sorry for the terrible images. Aspirated from a fungus on dead log. 2-3 mm long, pale with very dark patches on abdomen, and distinctive stripes on mesonotum. It feels a *lot* like Drosophilidae to me, but I cannot tell if it is, let alone species. (Also found Leucophenga maculata on the same 'shroom!) djo attached the following image:  [99.35Kb] Edited by djo on 10-08-2020 22:26 |

Looks very like Hirtodrosophila trivittata (Drosophilidae) - not sure whether this has been recorded in Scotland before.

Still, a useful record of a species that appears to be spreading in Britain.
