I observed this fly sometimes in mid-March in Southern Hungary. This fly was very smal, around 2mm. That is why the image is of low quality. This image is apparently too large to be posted, so I provide a link: http://xespok.net...itemId=367 This will be my new web site on the Wildlife of Europe, but right now it has much less material compared to my Wildlife of Japan site. The site will initially contain photos from Hungary, but the image management system would also make it possible to build the site up as an image gallery used by a wider community. The site right now contains only a few hundred Diptera images, all of them from Hungary. I have not really started to name the flies yet. If any of you is willing to help in ID, do not hesitate to leave your comments. Edited by Xespok on 25-05-2006 11:15 |

Hydrellia albilabris (Chloropidae). It's the only species in this largish genus that can rather easily be identified, the other's are very difficult.

Thx! Here my guess would have been Chloropidae at least. What makes this species so obvious? The antennae? |

AFAK no other European Hydrellia is shining black with a silver lunula (area immediate above base of antennae). The other species are matt grey with a silver to orange face.
