Hello, This bright little spark was jumping in the air and landing on the side of a bird bath, it doesn't look like a Musca to me. 22nd April, my garden near Lincoln UK. Janet

It seems to be an Amobia, Sarcophagidae. No wasps around ?

The colouring is different. http://diptera.in...ost_156708 And, in between getting this fly there appeared another one which is probably a female! I hadn't noticed it was different until editing. I have plenty of wasps about, is there one in particular it is interested in? There was none I could see at the time but there could have been a mating in mind.  The other fly, the only shot I got of it but it looks more like the one I had last year. blowave attached the following image:  [110.26Kb] Edited by blowave on 01-05-2011 23:05 http://cubits.org... |

This is just a standard "Sarcophaga" s.l.
