Thanks, Cranefly!!  What do I need to get the species? I think this might be Parydra coarctata, but I would like knowing the features I need to photograph for a positive ID  |

You are to make photo of a wing dorsally to see the short fork of vein. It looks to me like P.coarctata too, but it is better to be sure completely. And to measure size of the fly (mm) |

Thanks a bunch, Cranefly! It will remain Parydra sp. this time The only pictures I have showing venation are completely out of focus. I didn't concentrate on this one as I was shooting a swarm of Lispe tentaculata and this one appeared in the middle of the set. Obviosly it was mixed in the swarm of Lispe. I didn't even know what I was shooting   But I know what I have to do now Hope to get it right next time |
