Hi,
Some weeks ago lots of tiny Ephydrids were busy in a well-wetted flower pot on my balcony. When the soil dried out, they vanished. The shape of the white spot closest to the wing tip make me think of Scatella tenuicosta. Do you agree? - Location is southwestern Germany, 20 km west of Stuttgart.
Thanks, Sundew
