I see a pattern here, they seem to be related to fungi! They mate on it I think. Does anyone know if they lay there eggs on it? It's Odiniidae. You have to wait for the specialist to go any further Edited by Dieter S on 08-06-2013 22:36 |

Thanks to both of you! Indeed, the fungus also was a Fomes fomentarius growing on a fallen down tree. Best regards, Ingo My diptera videos: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User %3APristurus/gallery/Diptera |

On exact the fungus (Fomes fomentarius) where I found my first specimen in the last year I saw a fly sitting still for about 30 minutes. For me it looks like an oviposition (in a very slow way). Is this interpretation correct? Other Odinia do it here in a similar way near the base on the bottom side of Ganoderma applanatum fungi. Greetings, Ingo Video: https://commons.w...08-06.webm
