I've gone through my Checklist and the Gallery, concluded this is some kind of Sciomyzidae, of which I have a single species, Tetanocera robusta. Anyone know if I'm right/wrong? Regards Roger |

I know. You are right about family, but you are wrong about genus. So: 1. Happy birthday 2. Hydromya dorsalis, female Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Hi Nikita Well Family right for me is good. 1. Thank you for the outpouring of sympathy for the passing of another year. 2. More thanks for H.dorsalis. I went right past it in the Gallery. My one looks a lot darker...maybe need more exposure / light in my photo. |
