Hi,

today (17.october.2007) i have stayed at light and this is one of the fly who come, at least another fly i will post later.
hilly area ~650m.
size something like 3mm.
i think this is belonging to Chloropidae family and that is from Thaumatomyia genus. is true all this? something more?

some photo of the live fly and one with mounted fly.

yep true... just tried a little to put the fly in the refrigerator... not very successfully in the pose... sorry for that but the flies don't wanted to stay.
