Saw a few Medetera sp. today in southern England and thought of Nikita :D Can we say anything more about them or is identification from photos impossible?

Oh, Chris, I wish I knew! But, alas, I havn't any serios experience in Medetera ID.
On the other hand, this fact maqke Diptera so attractive - this cosmos much more than 10 human lifes!

Well, at least we can both enjoy the photographs at least! :D They are nice insects to follow and photograph. I had never tried until today but they seem to like any tree or even metal gate post so they are easy to find :)
