Hello!

These < 2 mm flies (no better photos possible) populate some "forgotten" bananas in our kitchen (northwest Germany). The distinctive black ending lets me think of Drosophila melanogaster (?).

Thanks, Paul! Although the word "group" makes me unhappy a little bit... ;)

No way to tell whether it is melanogaster or simulans from these pictures.
