Hello,
This fly (Ca. 1,5 mm; July 2010; Southern France) emerged from one of these Coccoidea leaving on Rosmarinus:

Is the fly a Leucopis sp?
Can the larva on 4 (bottom left) be a larva of this fly?
Does anyone know the Coccid?

It definitely looks like a Leucopis!

It definitely IS a Leucopis! ;) It looks like a male, so should be identifiable by the male genitalia - not by a photo though.

At present there is no way I can see the picture of the fly. Is it still there, at imageshack?

I attached the picture of the fly for Paul, and I apologize for its very bad quality and its too big size:(

Nobody has an idea of at least the family of the coccid?

"Pour information": the coccid has been identified as Amonostherium rorismarinis (Boyer-de-Fonscolombe, 1834) (Pseudococcidae) by Daničle Matile from MNHN, Paris.
Thanks to her and to you.
