 I’ve found this species on highbush blueberry plants in late May (central Poland).

 Firstly I thought it is a Cecidomyiidae, in Poland many of them are observed as a highbush blueberry pests, but after a while I see, it probably is Sciaridae.

 Also, the first tarsomere is much shorter than the second.

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’?
