Dear Fly-forum, I took these pictures today in my glasshouse. The fly is approx. 5 mm long and blows a bubble. Is Asilidae correct and can it be further identified? Thank you for your help, Niek Niek van Wijk attached the following image:  [162.69Kb] |

No, this is not Asilidae but Sphaeroceridae.

Dear Jan-Willem, Thank you for your quick reply. Would it be OK if I record it as Lotiphila atra cf. or as Lotiphila sp.? Please advise, thank you. Best regards, Niek |

Hi Niek, Just have a little patience for now. For me it was just a guess, but there might be someone on the forum who actually knows something about Sphaeroceridae. So give it a little time. Jan Willem van Zuijlen |

I'd say Copromyza, if not, then possibly Crumomyia.
