Hello, this unidentified fly I found on March, 13th, this year in a wood near a small lake (Mainz, Germany). It's size was about 6mm. Can someone help with the identification? Thanks a lot, Kathrin KathrinJ attached the following image:  [60.36Kb] Edited by KathrinJ on 23-03-2009 11:37 |

Looks like a Lispe sp (Muscidae).

Hi Kathrin, We need not only "wood near lake" but also country and which part of it - probably you are in Germany? Regards, Sundew |

Yes, probably Ephidryde, I was too fast. Lispe and some Ephydridids are quite similar, because they share both habitat and habit (predators).

Certainly Ochthera, but I can't tell which species from these photos.

Thanks a lot. Ochthera sp is quite enough for me. I always try to take photos from different perspectives but not every insect wants to sit for that long. Maybe next time. Regards, Kathrin |
