 Size is approx. 4 mm, photographed in Bodø, northern Norway. Date is 14.07.2011.

Seems to be very common in the area, is it possible to tell genus or species?

 Not for sure - partly because of the angle of the photo - and because it is female

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.

Canada plans to eliminate the Diptera group at the CNC. See post in the News section of the main page.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

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.
