Hi, who can give this fly a family ;-)? Or even a genus, in spite of the missing sharpness? Thanks in advance, Lennart 2014-09-26, 12 a.m, Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Mohrkirch, stone on wild meadow Lennart Bendixen attached the following image:  [73.2Kb] Edited by Lennart Bendixen on 20-01-2015 15:13 |

Before I began photographing insects I didn't even hear of that family. But now I find them everywhere: in and at the house (yesterday one like Lennart's in the kitchen) and all around in nature. When I don't find other flies - Sphaeroceridae will still be around...

...and I always thought I was the one who DOES notice small insects.... > but - so it seems - only in relation to the avarage citizen, not to the average dipterist ;-) |
