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 picta Male 2 (more or less the same size as the Protoclythia male)
Polyporivora cf. picta Male 3= Male 2? (I think)
Platypeza fasciata Female 1 (smaller than
Protoclythia modesta female)
Lindneromyia hungarica Female 2 (much smaller than
Protoclythia modesta female)
Female 3 = Polyporivora ornata (I suppose)
Thanks in advance! :)
