Hello, This 2-3 mm fly I saw last week near Heerlen and (if it is a chloropid indeed) for once not on a meadow but in the forest. Ben Ben Hamers attached the following image:  [42.81Kb] Edited by Ben Hamers on 22-05-2012 18:48 |

Elachiptera tuberculifera (Chloropidae). This species is easy to identify: thick arista, pollinose back and scutellar setae on long tubercles. The last character isn't very well visible in the pic but I think it's there. E. tuberculifera is very common during the colder months of the year (in N Europe). It is also present during the summer but perhaps in lower numbers and as there are so many other small flies on the wing, it is not as readily found.

Thank you very much Kahis. For me a picture gets an extra value when I know something about the animal I photographed. Ben |
