Hi, found on 05-October-2020 in the nature reserve "Hoellberg" near Bad Kreuznach, Rhineland Palatinate, Germany. Can it be further identified? Many thanks and regards, Stella Stella M attached the following image:  [161.68Kb] Edited by Stella M on 06-10-2020 19:32 |

No, this one is Ephydridae, probably Discomyza incurva. There is another species - Discomyza baechlii - which is found in Germany, but usually at higher altitudes than incurva. I cannot make out the necessary features to say which this one is.

Hi Tony, thank you very much for the very interesting explanation! Altitude was appr. 200m. Unfortunately like so many interesting little flies, it flew away and I have no other photos.. But at least I know now the right "direction" for this quite bizarre little fly... Kind regards, Stella |
