My last effort was not diptera .... this one is. Thank you for ID - much obliged. Does a constant frantic wing dance on leaves in sunlight - not easy to photograph. About 3mm. Northern Bangkok area.

As it happens yes - first image is of the same fly - not so clear - and the second image in the second reply is of another specimen this morning. Only the second occasion in 18 months that I have seen it. There are several bodies of fresh water within 500 metres.

I am inclined to say it is a chloropid

Thank you - it might be - tentatively yes - but the distinctive paddle like waving of the wings does not look like the images in the gallery. Thank you for your time and attention. I shall have more to ask than to contribute for some time. The subject is fascinating. Ian Edited by ianjacobs96 on 08-03-2013 10:49 |

Agromyzidae (Phytomyzidae) lyriomyza sp. Leaf miner fly. (.... courtesy Siam Insect Zoo website) If this is correct I will change the name of the thread. Ian |

Chloropidae, Chloropinae: Typical are the large ocellar triangle, costalized wing with costa ending at R4+5 and M1+2 being much weaker than R4+5, scutellum with a pair of prominent apical bristles and missing or tiny lateral ones. A white arista is also typical for several genera of Chloropinae, as well a head with large eyes and being wider than the thorax. Wing waving is very rare among Chloropidae. |

This is a Thressa without any wing markings, but I cannot identify to species. I have seen similar species in the Oriental Region and New Guinea and they have the wing waving behaviour conspicuous in the commoner species T. punctifera which has marked wings. Thressa have a pectinate arista, narrow costal cell and a large frontal triangle. Best wishes, John Ismay John and Barbara I |
