Hello! On first glance I thought, this 2.5 mm fly last Tuesday night at our wintergarden (northwest Germany) was one of the usual darkish Drosophilidae. But looking at it on the PC I now think, it is a different family. But which...?

You just need to have lots of cats crapping in your garden Juergen, then you will see plenty. They seem to like that...  Or otters,I've got a big dog otter living under my shed again...dread to think what size it;s going to be dropping ...BTW..Hope this doesn't put you off your breakfast...  Regards...Roger PS; I can round up some of my neighbour's cats and send them to you [before the otter eats them]..if you want...[Free of charge] |

I'd say Aulacigastridae » Aulacigaster as well. |

Aw, I have been sticking my head into sphaerocerid matters too much the last few weeks. I meant Aulacigaster but that frontal lobe of mine slipped.

Well I don't know what to say...for once Still you could fill several pages with links to the ones I've had wrong.... Seems an awkward mind and hard study sometimes just isn't enough... http://www.dipter...ost_215109 It was suggested recently that I was in need of a holiday.... http://www.dipter...ost_215573 You any good with a paintbrush Paul? Plenty of fresh air..wind...a little bit of sunshine maybe, the scaffolding isn't too high
