Hello!

This species appeared in my garden (Hungary) on radish bed in early morning of 4th of June 2008. Its size was approximately 8-10mm long. Much appreciate for any idea about the species.

I'd say: bull's eye.

Hello all!

I was a little bit confused by the pattern of the abdomen. So Meigenia is probable? Theo, I don't quite follow you, what do you mean?;)

"Bull's eye" should mean that St?phane hit the center of the target (called the bull's eye)! So it's a male Meigenia.
