Hello  I found this on a rotting Arisaema tuber which had earlier had some white fungus-like growths around the top on the surface. Approx. 2mm long, date 29th November. Location, a few miles south of Lincoln UK. Any help appreciated. 2 pics but I have more. Janet blowave attached the following image:  [83.57Kb] Edited by blowave on 09-01-2010 14:59 |

Oh not a Drosophilidae, they seem as bad as Lauxaniidae to get an ID.Hoping Paul does some mulling...  |

Freshly emerged, difficult to say anything about it. Perhaps if you kept the specimen...?

I think it is not belongs to Lauxaniidae according to its sparse antennal arista and vibrasse on mouth margin. Li Shi rich biodiversity in China. shililauxaniid@aliyun.com. Einstein once said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." |

True, but I have never seen a Lauxanid with a "forked" arista. As far as I can see the fly on the photo has this typical fork

It being Drosophilidae is not a matter of discussion...
