Hello,
I found this little fly at the beginning of August in Villeneuve-d'Ascq (northern France).
The insect was on a mint leaf at the edge of the water (lake).
I think the Notiphila genus is the right one and I know there are many species belonging to this genus.
Is it possible to define a species ? On LMDI the species Notiphila riparia is proposed : what do you think about this proposal ?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Dominique
