 Hello,

I found this fly sitting on a house-wall in Wasserbillig (Luxembourg) this 04.05. Length about 8-10mm.
It made me laugh because it was really reluctant to leave my finger and return to the wall.

Concerning ID, I think it's either a Conops or Leopoldius.

Thanks in advance.

What a piece of sad news to learn about Mr. Chandler's passing, a great loss indeed

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
