Hello, This brave fly was on my door on 12th December on a cold dull day, near Lincoln UK. I have both S. graminum and pallida, I doubt this is a female graminum but could it be a male? Size around 3mm I have yet to discover what the difference is between the two species apart from the rear end of a female graminum.  If anyone can tell me that would be great. Thanks!3 pics. Janet

Thank you Paul! Now I know what to look for. It looks like S. graminum has 4 rows of ac. http://cubits.org... |
