 Hi all!

A forum just for flies, how great is this! I thought I would introduce myself and upload a photo I posted on my blog last week. I identified it as a fruit fly (family Lauxaniidae). If anyone could confirm this identification, or even identify it to genus, I would really appreciate it.

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.

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.
