Is it possible to ID these Suillia from these photos. S. variegata maybe? c 8mm with dark markings on wings, with initially 2 males riding on a female, competing to mate. One was then doslodged and copulation proceeded, with repeated stabbing action form the male rather than the pair being locked together. 19.10.14 Gloucestershire woodland, UK. nick upton attached the following image: [111.33Kb] Edited by nick upton on 23-11-2014 18:34 Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |

The last picture shows a male Suillia indeed. The other are all Dryomyzidae, very likely Neuroctena anilis.
