hi flyforum, This afternoon I was surprised to see this kind of fly on bark of a tree. I've never seen them in this area.. Perhabs they are mostly found on birds? Is it Ornithomya? Must be difficult species I guess  place: Amsterdam forest date: 1-08-2010 greeting Robert Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [172.03Kb] Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

Correct ID. Usually found on birds, indeed.

Ornithomyia strongly favours birds breeding in threeholes. But when the host leaves the hole... you need to move. That is what might have happened here. Anyway, it is Ornithomyia avicularia, our most common species (hosts are bigger holebreeders, from Great Tit upwards) Theo |
