Yesterday in my garden (Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain" I put a dead sea snail in the table (I work in a seafood factory). I go back some minutes after and in the snail was a big sarcophagid an this one small, beautiful, painted-winged fly. The fly go out of the snail and go to a next cacti, and here, it began to move the wings always, the wings never be quiet, maybe two times in 3 seconds. The fly sizes about 2-3 mm long and about 5-6 mm from wing-tip to wing-tip. Can you help me?    Thanks

Ulidiidae, probably Ulidia.

Sorry, I don't think I have a recent key to help you out. The marking in the middle of the wing is larger than illustrated for U. apicalis by Seguy (for what it's worth), so maybe another species.

Gentlemen/women, this is certainly Euxesta pechumani Curran 1938, a fly, which was discovered in Mediterranea in 1921 by Mario Bezzi, who misidentified it as nitidiventris; it was actually described only 16 years after from its country of origin (TL New York City!). The fly is rather common from the Azores to Turkmenistan now and is associated with old elms; also common on poplar logs (as we collected it in Ioannina, Greece), etc.
