Hello!

This fly was only about 1 mm small and running around fastly on a Hydrangea leaf in our garden (northwest Germany) yesterday. I'm not sure into which family I shall put it. Possibly Phoridae?

Phoridae. Could well be a dreaded Megaselia...

Thanks again. Currently there are many Phoridae running around on leaves. Some even smaller than this one, but most entirely black.
Best regards,
Jürgen

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
