Hello,  This fly was very tiny (about 3mm) and hard to get proper pics of as it kept jumping high up in the air, unlike any other fly I have ever seen. It's very pretty with a shiny emerald green suit. In fact everything was shiny on it... I met it a few times in the rainforest of Brazil close by a river near Paraty. The pics date from the 10th Febr. this year Can anyone help me to find its family and if possible Genus? Many thanks! Myriam   |
