At home I have a aquarium filled whit soil, to see what flies are coming out of the soil. And today I spotted my first Muscidae! The sice is about 4mm and I think it could be a Hydrotaea. But I had to make photo's through the glass, because when I open the cover, all other flies are flying into my livingroom...  Is it Hydrotaea(H.irritans / H.pellucens..??) or maybe a Haematobia ?

Javanerkelens, did you realize the strange behaviour of this fly? Did you notice anything in this Cinochira?  |

it waits a lot of time and rarely flies. It moves a lot the first pair of legs. The pose is very caracteristic, all body plan made a 45º with the plan of the table. Sorry , I forgot to look at your thread... I study the fly, the last hour and it seems to go fast up and down for one second and then it sits again very stil...I wil make more observations the coming days......nice!! Joke |

Cinochira atra is a parasitoid of Drymus brunneus - a lyageid hemipteran bug. http://upload.wik...unneus.jpg Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 07-01-2009 14:35 |

Joke Could you please provide more details on locality and dates and so on ? First Cinochira ever reared in The Netherlands ! And please look for bugs (wantsen) in your terrarium. These are the (possible) hosts. Love to get an ID on those. Stephane, I felt as paranoia as you Theo |
