Hello,

this fly was only about 1.5 mm big. At the wall of our house (northwest Germany).

Might be a Psilopa, as it resembles mine (http://www.dipter...d_id=76188), but with dark antennae. However, there are hardly details visible.

Thank you! These tiny critters bring my older camera and my trembling hands to their limits... Frown

I'd agree with Sundew - most likely to be a Psilopa

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
