Not enough curls for the hair to have been re-styled by you Joke...although it does seem to have a sad expression on its face, maybe at the thought of it. Pfft

You're probably right aboutC.vicina, but it does look somehow different to others of that type I have photographed previously.

Bit stange? I assume you mean "strange", that's rich coming from one of many who spend a large part of their day counting hairs on the legs and body of fly and fretting about the numbers and direction in relation to said fly. And failing to find an answer doing that, removing its genitalia for further inspection.
Now that to me is STRANGE. Grin

And long may you all continue to do so....because a fly without a name is just a fly.

Regards Roger....probably more than a bit stange Wink
