Hi,
I am sorry this photo is rather small but I like it because it is puzzling: you count four wings and see, at a first glance, only one fly... Obviously this is a mating couple of Tephritidae. Is it possible to name the genus? The photo was taken not far from Berlin in a camp surrounded by woods and lakes on June 16.
Many thanks, Sundew

Is it really impossible to identify the genus of my little flies, or did all Tephritid specialists go on holiday? Just say a word...
Sundew, patiently waiting

These were even two words, and the best I could expect. Thank you very much indeed, John.
