She looks like she is ovipositing. I have not heard of Sciarids ovipositing on nettles before. Try to rear the larvae! |

Yes, I think ovipostion is right (see video). However to find this leaf again in a jungle of nettles is really impossible for me... Thanks for the id to xylo and Gunnar! Greetings, Ingo My diptera videos: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User %3APristurus/gallery/Diptera |
