Hello, can anyone help me to identify this fly. I found it on September, 12. in Switzerland. The location was a meadow near a forest. The size of the fly is around 5mm. Thank you. Urs Segin attached the following image:  [115.18Kb] Edited by Segin on 13-09-2010 18:53 |

Chloropidae. There are several very similar genera with lots of species showing this general pattern, so you may not get a closer id.

This is a Chlorops, there are actually not many chloropid genera having this kind of yellow-black general appearance. But this is a difficult genus even under a microscope, so you'll rarely attain species-level here in this group. |
