This fly was on the same bush that, 9 days ago, I came across what I thought might be a Macquartia grisea (see here: http://www.dipter...ost_199998). That one looked like a male; this one looks like a female. Photos taken in Reading UK on 2012-03-21. tristram attached the following image:  [158.65Kb] Edited by tristram on 21-03-2012 22:30 |

This one certainly looks like M.grisea but I'd still like a specimen to be sure

Thanks Chris. I'll see if I can get get a specimen. [Note added later: The following thread confirms that M. grisea was present a few weeks later in the same area that the above photos were taken: http://www.dipter...d_id=46398 ] Edited by tristram on 13-10-2012 23:37 |
