Hello all - found this little (5mm?) fly on umbellifers today here in Wolverhampton. Can anybody point me in the right direction for identifying it? I like the antennae!

Looks to be either Mycetophilidae or Keroplatidae...I'll say the first of those, so it's more than likely the other family. Roger |

Roger Thanks, Roger - I have never seen one like this before! And this one was so small I almost missed it scampering across the top of the umbellifer. Jez Lee www.uknature.co.uk |
