Hello, Here comes a small yellow fly from my garden, seen in June of 2008. I doubt whether it is a Lauxaniid, as it has feathery aristae. This character is met in Drosophilids, but I am not familiar with them. So help is gratefully accepted! Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [166.97Kb] |

Many thanks, Katka - "plumicornis" is a perfect species epithet, surely pointing to the peculiar arista. |
