hello again,

thank you for determining the Staphrosoma, i may have another Anthomyzidae that needs some determination :) From the gallery i'd say it's a Paranthomyza or Anthomyza? This one was sitting on a leaf in a forest region of Ratingen, Germany (near Duesseldorf), May 15 2008. While it was quite small, i don't remember the exact dimensions, but would guess 2-3mm at the most.

cheers!
