Hi, This tiny fly ~4mm (I think!) was feeding on Dandelion two days ago, on the 14th. It looks much like Graphogaster brunnescens to me, but I could be way out!  I only managed to get one pic. Any help appreciated thanks!Lincoln UK. Janet blowave attached the following image:  [119.01Kb] Edited by blowave on 19-04-2009 21:10 |

You'd be lucky  Well, the head shape looks all wrong and there's no evidence of a subscutellum so my guess is that it's an anthomyid

Thanks Chris, I gather that one is rare then! I didn't get an email notification, must be my server.  Same thing happens on another site.Maybe I should change the title and try again. |
