Hi,
Does anyone know these tiny flies that visit milfoil (Achillea millefolium) flower heads on 31. July? The mating couple obviously belong to the same species as the single one.
Thanks, Sundew

Scaptomyza (Drosophilidae)

Probably S. pallida.

Such modesty of Kahis: Leave out the probably.

Great - the smaller the flies, the better you know them! Many thanks indeed, Sundew
