Hello,
I found this little Dolichopodidae in a wasteland full of wild plants and close to a large pond. It was in Villeneuve d'Ascq in the Nord department in France.
The insect was settled on a Helminthotheca echioides leaf and was eating a small worm.
I think, without being entirely sure, that it belongs to the genus Argyra.
Is it the right genus and can we consider a species from my photos ?
Thanks in advance,
Dominique

Looks like Argyra 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
