Hello! Nice, spotted winged fly from my garden, Hungary. Never seen earlier. I am not sure even about the family. (Ulidiidae??) I beheld it on corn/maize waggling its wings occasionally. Small sized, 4-6 mm long or smaller. Much appreciate for any idea about the family or species. 13th of August 2008 eguzki attached the following image:  [66.94Kb] Edited by eguzki on 14-08-2008 20:41 Greetings, Tomi |

One possibility is Euxesta pechumani of Ulidiidae.

Right. Euxesta pechumani Curran, a peculiar species found in Europe 20 years before it was formally described from Bronx, NYC, USA, where it originally came from during the World War I. A curious case!
