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!)

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.

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
