Berlin - August 2019 Hello everyone, I found these diptera mating on my flowerbox. I see long arista but i also think that certain Phoridae have long arista(?). I am not sure about the family. Is Sphaeroceridae correct? i tried to get as close as possible which forces me to focus on one of them, so i chose the female. The photo is cropped from the original so it is no larger. Thank you, John johnes81 attached the following image:  [89Kb] Edited by johnes81 on 08-08-2019 18:40 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Thanks Jürgen! this is another family i know very little about. I have seen Megaselia in my kitchen before but i've never examined one or made a positive id on one before. Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |
