body ~ 2-3 mm. Note the blue color on end of wings, it does not come from flash, it was seen with naked eye in cloudy weather. Yellowish color on wings probably comes from flash.

Thanks. Photo is not something to be mentioned, but today I got lucky --> much better quality(DOF, lighting, ...). http://agrozoo.ne...fbf47638d5 This has orange spot on its back, doubt that it is part of fly or is it ?

hello, there are some Trombidiidae (and Hydrachnidae, i think) mites that attack Diptera, usually at the space between terguites; i´m not sure where (so don´t believe this) but i read time ago that aquatic mites attack Tipulide and others while they emerge from the puparium (a sad beginning) Here it is a link to a pic of Roger Thomason of another Chiro with two http://diptera.in...d_id=29450 In case it was Cricotopus (i can´t rule out other genera) it has the abdomen pattern of at least C. tremulus, but that´s very risky for me, i stop with subfamily regards - edit: i link to another one (female) with similar abdomen http://diptera.in...d_id=29487 Edited by paqui on 24-04-2010 19:42 |

I had a image, bad one doh, allmost the same as that one from your link, except the predators were red, the spot where they attacked was the same. But I guess when they are in hurry , they are not so spot picky. highly searchable nature photo galery --> http://agrozoo.ne....jsp?l2=en |
