The most amazing eyes I've seen so far.

Tiny fly, around 3-3,5 mm.

Thanks for your help

Best regards

More than 100 Medetera species occur in Europe. For correct identification clearing and examination of male genitalia is usually necessary. If you can collect some specimens you can send them to me for identification.
