 Hello,
Several of these small flies (arista plumose, eyes hairy) sat on the leaves of a maple tree I passed near Schaala (a small town in Thuringia) on 3 September. Wing venation points to Muscidae, perhaps we can get a bit closer?
Many thanks for help, Sundew

 I'll take a guess at Polietes domitor.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
