Platypezidae not uncommon in the forests of this area (Protoclythia spp. males are very visible), but the other day I found a Laurus nobilis full of them, were almost all species together, males and females ... The tree is small, is on the edge of a mixed deciduous forest (Castanea sativa, Laurus nobilis, Quercus robur, Corylus, Betula, Salix, Prunus, Pinus ...), quite humid but always pleasant temperatures (close to the coast). All photos in the same tree for 3 days, the most abundant species were P. modesta and P. rufa.

Pairs of Protoclythia I think I have well identified (http://www.dipter...d_id=58038), but I have other unpaired males and females ... Is it possible to pair some of them? :D

Platypeza sp.? Male 1 (smaller than Protoclythia male )

Polyporivora cf. picta Male 3= Male 2? (I think)

Female 3 = Polyporivora ornata (I suppose)
