Hi flyforum :)
Taken today, 27th August 2006 in Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL.
This fly appears when I realized that some pillbugs (Isopoda) were died...
Chloropidae fly? If so, is it possible genus? About 3 mm (?). Very small indeed.

Not Chloropidae - the yellow species are never as bristly as this appears to be. I think this is
Palloptera (Pallopteridae). Paul may be able to suggest a species.

I'd rather say it is Lauxaniidae...

Again... but the wings haven?t marks in wings... as I see in dipter gallery, and abdomen tip is not so angular... but a little round tip... yes, it's true that this fly has bristles. In some way, this fly seems so much interested in pillbugs...
Thanks! Wait for more answers! ;)

Did I say
Palloptera? - my blood sugar must be low! ;)

You must prove "Viriato" pastel. :) It is a good dessert from Viseu. And it is, indeed, very sweet... so, you would have lots of glycosis. :)
But, look out for flies... because they like a lot of "Viriato". :))
