Photo taken by my friend A silly question: will there be variations in compound eye colour (e.g. red and green) for the same species of dolichopodid?  |

Sybistroma? And I think most differences will be due to lighting. Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |

Sybistroma belongs to Dolichopodinae. Chrysosoma belongs to Sciapodinae. It is a Sciopodine sp. and could be Chrysosoma or Plagiozopelma. Stefan |
