Hello! I saw one other post recently which looked like this, and was said to be Phytosciara sp. Is this correct, and if so is a species possible? Size ~5mm. 6th November, on Ivy, my garden near Lincoln UK. I was wondering about Phytosciara halterata, in the sub-genus Phytosciara as that is the only species included there, but there are other Phytosciara species in other sub-genus sections. I have Ranunculus which P. halterata leaf mines, there is some nearby at the water's edge where the Ivy is. http://www.ukflym...erata.html 2 pics Janet

Female sciarid = impossible (sorry for the negative vibes, but some things are just not meant to be...) |

Doesn't my fly look like the one in this thread? xylo seemed to be quite certain there was only one sciarid which resembled Mycetophilidae.
