loool :) eheh

hmm... it is quite possible to be Fannia sp.! Is it common to be very dark like coal? AND this is really much more bristly than a normal lonchaeid. :)

the problem is other... the mite seems had attacked and killed the fly. :S When I caught this fly I didn?t see any mites... (it doesn?t seem an acari..) and this fly was totally closed inside a vial. Then a few hours passed, I opened again the vial... and there were dozens of them! :|

They seem to have hatched from abdomen.
