Is this a Phoridae sp. and male or female?

This 2-3mm fly was actively running around on top of a wild raspberry leaf, then would suddenly stop and appear to eat something from the leaf.

Phoridae. I also see these pitch black Phorids in and around my garden.

These pitch black phorids with the rather short, wide head usually turn out to be Phora sp.

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
