Hello all,

I think this fly is lonchopteridae. If so, is it possible to get to species level?

Thanks! :)

this is Lonchoptera bifurcata female - these are very nearly always female, with a female to to male ratio in the region of 10,000 - 1.

Ouch, I'm glad this ratio doesn't apply to Homo sapiens... :o

Thanks Mark!
