Hi, this I have just found on the underside of a polypore. It was so near the ground that I needed the live view function of my Pentax k7. NO idea at all (or maybe: Periscelididae?). Body a bit over 2 mms.

The quality is not so good because the conditions :) I think it is not a Chloro, the arista is different (see the recent pics). Not visible on the first pic. regards, Walter

Seems to be a Drosophilidae, maybe Mycodrosophila poecilogastra, seeing the black costa thickening.

Wait for Paul before saying that. I was guessing. ;)

It is certainly Mycodrosophila poecilogastra, there is nothing else like that in this part of the Universe
