I come and I go, a bit like the tide! And here I am back with a long legged fly found walking on algae growing in a torrential pool in central Italy at about 700 m. Can anyone help with an ID? Thanks, the long absent Sarah.

Considering the wing venation it is not a long-legged fly (Dolichopodidae) |

Sorry, I was using the term in its layman's sense of a fly with long legs  ! Hope I didn't create confusion. |

Thanks to you all for your answers. It's good to be back and to see so many familiar names. I've got a couple of other fly pics taken a couple of days ago on the dunes sitting in a folder waiting for an ID, as soon as I've got a momento to proccess them, I'll be back, Sarah. |

Collect all Clinocerinae, put them in alcohol, and ship them to me.

Well, if you want to have all the names that might need to change...

I'm lucky Paul, I'm an enthusiast and photographer, not a specialist. So although I'm fascinated in every aspect of the nature I see and photograph, I only really need to know in as much detail as can be seen from my shots, so more often than not, just to know the family is fine for my purposes. I'm quite happy to leave the complicated stuff to you experts!!! |
