Hello!

The only fly this evening at 0 ?C in the garden (near banana fruit bait) here (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Size only 2 mm. Can more be said about it than just "Drosophila obscura group"? Thanks and happy (remaining) holday(s)!

Thanks nevertheless! But it is from the D. obscura group?

Thanks, Paul! Seems by far the most numerous Drosophilid in late autumn and winter here.
Best regards,

These pics possibly better? From late afternoon today at banana in garden.
BTW: Only other Brachycera in the garden today was a Tephrochlamys sp. (Heleomyzidae). Unfortunately no photo... Additionally there were some Sciarids and Anisopodids.

sciarids have a very curious behavior. I saw some sciarids in Citrus sinensis beating very fast their wings. I don't know if it was to keep them more warm... they always were alone. I wonder the reasons concerning this behavior. Lonchopteridae are very common on grass these days - Lonchoptera spp.
