Hi, Two days ago I watched several Miltogramminae flies, they are lovely little ones. How can I discriminate between Miltogramma and Senotainia - is there any jizz? I think these two are Miltogramma, but do they belong to the same species? Many thanks for help, Sundew #1: Sundew attached the following image:  [151.42Kb] |

Both specimens are very likely Miltogramma punctata (assuming you have caught them in Germany). Miltogramma can be recognised because the vibrissal bristles are rather week. Liekele |

Surely these are German flies; I live in Berlin, as you know. (If I post photos from outside Berlin, I give the locality.) However, they were caught by the camera only! May they live long and happy. Your remark on the weak vibrissae of Miltogramma is very helpful! I shall keep it in mind. Many thanks for all help, I appreciate it. Best wishes, Sundew |
