Today I found this fly (c.8 mm) in heathland hibernating in young pines. Can someone give an ID for it? Thanks, André den Ouden Andre den Ouden attached the following image:  [73.18Kb] |

Sorry Nikita, this fly doesn't belong to the Heleomyzidae. This is a member of the Pallopteridae: Palloptera scutellata. I have to admit that id does look rather heleomyzid-like. This fly is associated with Juncus (mostly Juncus effusus I think). Interesting André that you found it hibernating in young pines. Jan Willem van Zuijlen |

I had to limit myself to "not Sciomyzidae"

Thanks everybody! I found this fly by the Hatertse Vennen near Nijmegen in the Netherlands. At 21 jan.of this year I found the same fly on about 2 km. distance. It is hibernating on the same places as Sympecma fusca, a dragonfly. André den Ouden |
