Is it possible to determine family/species of this little fly? It was found in May around a lake, outside of Oslo, Norway. rgds Geir gedra attached the following image:  [71.12Kb] Geir |

Lauxanidae I think... by the look of it. |

Gedra It looks like a female Lonchaea sylvatica the only relatively common species of Lonchaea in the Palearctic to have all black tarsi and a dark squammal fringe. Top photo is excellent - do you mind if I use a copy on my Lonchaeidae web site?? ........ Iain Iain MacGowan |
