Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Tiny fly on Catnip

Dear all,

I wonder if anyone could shove me in the right direction here... I was able to photograph his tiny fly (4mm I think) a few days ago in my garden while I was after aphids and ants (a sunny garden in Eckental, Northern Bavaria, Germany). That's why the angle is pretty bad for identification I'm afraid. But, well, if anyone has an idea where to place this fly, even very broadly, I'd be thrilled.

Thank you!

Fantastic, thank you!!! I didn't think this was possible at all. :D So, I guess she's interested in the aphids in the pictures after all. Cool.

Thanks a lot!
