Hi,

this time its a tiny black fly with a swollen abdomen and yellowish wings. My best guess would be a Lauxaniidae, maybe Minettia longipennis. Is it possible to identify the species from the pictures?

Germany, Southern Bavaria, Munich (-West), shrub leaf, 07.06.2024, app. 3-4 mm

Greetings, Uli

Minettia longipennis is hard to misidentify.

Hi Jürgen,

thanks, that is good to know. For me, it was hard enough to identify it. ;)

Thanks and greetings, Uli
