This fly seems to prefer walking around, but i's still quite shy. It gives the impression of being front half black and back half orange divided by a straight line when seen from above. maybe 5 mm long. July, Norway

Lauxaniidae. I should even be able to give you at least the genus name, but I just don't know it by heart:|. I can tell you later, or maybe one of the others does know it by heart.

Let's just try anyway: Minettia longipennis ??
