I reckon a chloropid, but I'm only trying to look clever. I don't really know.

It does, doesn't it?
Merdaria is the other, very similar species. But that species has a distinct dark spot at the implant of the arista.

Thanks again Andre :)
Can you tell me, is this a male or female?
I think it`s a female, but I`m not sure.

Much obliged Anne ::
If I look very carefully, I would say a female as well.
Nice avatar btw... maybe I should change mine into a smiling one too? :o

Thanks again, again Andre :)
A female is good. Most of the pictures are males. But how can I upload a picture to this great site. I need help!
