Hi, Recently I spotted on our housewall a moving thin something about 1 mm long and thought of a mini spider, but to my surprise the camera, hardly able to catch it, depicted a tiny fly with short wings. It had a defect antenna, but the wings seemed not to be artificially deformed, so I suppose this is normal for that species. Can you help me, from the poor photos, to find a family and a name? Many thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [149.53Kb] |

with all probability an Anthomyzid ! Maybe a Stiphrosoma sp. ? dr. A. J. Woznica, Institute of Environmental Biology, Wroclaw University of Environmental & Life Sciences |

Looks like Stiphrosoma sabulosum (Anthomyzidae) - would be good to have these in the gallery to complement Walter's pictures of the macropterous form.

Oh - you are so fast and so unisonous! Another new family for me, that's great. The little one will find its way to the gallery. Regards, Sundew (very grateful) |
