Hi, in the beginning of August I found this fly on dead wood at a forest edge in Germany, Saxony. Could it be a male Drosophila suzukii? Greetings, Marion Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [162.95Kb] Edited by Marion Friedrich on 20-08-2022 22:13 |

It looks like. Still, it would be nice to see more pictures, if possible. |

That is not D. suzukii, and while I don't know what it is right now - I am sure it's not a Drosophilid

Thank you very much for correction. I have two other, unfortunately, bad pictures. Maybe they are helpful for ID. I ´ll change the title. Marion Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [142.23Kb] |

Although I was a bit suspicious (two dark combs of setae on fore tarsi, typical for D. suzukii, were not visible), I was not suspicious enough. Juergen correctly recognized that it is a Geomyza and the two last pictures confirm his opinion. |
