Opomyza florum. Do you have more details? I think this species has not been recorded from Portugal before.

I will make more photos. Next week.
I know Opomyzidae family is very poorly known in Portugal. I will try to collect more opomyzids so we can do an article on this family.

great! See? And you saw your first Chaoboridae. So the trip was worthy of Diptera. Don't forget that oestrids are hard to find.

Of course it was worthy, but a shame that flies didn't enter in some open mouths:P

There were many taurus there with open mouths in Lama Grande... you should go with them. :p Or you should take off the T-shirt in Lama Grande and wait for an oestrid to parasite yourself.
