Hi! I found a very little fly (the photo is not good...), do you know the family ? Chloropidae ? (found in the NE of Thailand) Didier DidierBPN attached the following image:  [111.49Kb] |

Don't think Chloropidae

How about Platystomatidae: Scholastinae with peculiar english name Schoolgirl signal flies? I found a somewhat similar photo on the web https://potokito-myshot.blogspot.com/2012/02/school-girl-signal-fly-platystomatidae.html |

Actually, the English vernacular name for the family is signal flies. The 'schoolgirl' name was added in the blog to Scholastes because the author thought that the colour pattern of the fly resembled a classic school uniform ("Its appearance is just like a school girl using its shoes and socks" , but it does not apply to all members of the family.
