I think this is a Psychodidae moth fly. Is that right? Is it possible to be more specific from a photo? Regards, Martin Martin Cooper attached the following image: [169.82Kb] Edited by Martin Cooper on 05-03-2014 00:12 |

Thanks Gunnar. I had no idea that such a precise determination could be made from a photo. Best wishes, Martin |

The genus Psychoda is easy to recognize (in Europe) on the wings being held parallel to each other rather than diverging. sigma is to my knowledge the only species to have the pronounced black transverse stripe that this specimen has. |
