Hi, It is Dolichopodid season, and everywhere on the leaves sit tiny ones that I suppose to be Chrysotus. Though we had some informative threads already and Igor even supplied a key for some Finnish species, I am not sure whether it fits for my Berlin flies. At least the upper one has yellow legs, in contrast to Ch. laesus, which I know to have dark ones. So I dare to bother you with that genus again, hoping to get genus confirmation at least. Thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [148.75Kb] |

The 1st pcture is Chrysotus cilipes Meigen, 1824 most probably. The 2nd picture is an indeterminable Chrysotus female.

That's more than enough for these tiny critters! Many thanks indeed. I think I'll stop photographing Chrysotus now, my camera is unable to reveal more details. Nevertheless I enjoy working with the Raynox macro lens. Regards, Sundew |
