Massachusetts, USA July 15, 2010. Many insects at sap. These are some of the Drosophilidae. In the previous year I saw two species of Drosophila and one of Mycodrosophila. See also thread 43411 from 5 days earlier (http://www.dipter...d_id=43411).

At least three species, with the last image depicting on of the repleta group. That's where my knowledge of Nearctic species ends.
