Hi,

I caught (among other species) some D. hydei in my appartement.
At the university there are also kept similar flies for feeding purposes. They were bought somewhere and I wonder what species this might be. They belong for sure into the repleta-group. They have brighter red eyes and usually have an 'X' shape on the scutellum. They can be kept on normal Drosophila standard medium, like D. melanogaster. Any suggestions?
