Dear friends, here's a few photos I received from a Hungarian gardener, and told him you will help me for sure. These small flies were hatched from walnuts, its size is 2-3mm.

He really needs to know what are these flies, thank you!

Chloropidae?...seems similar to Calamoncosis in the Gallery.

Stratiomyidae; some sort of Pachygaster-type thing?

No soldierfly. I think that Roger is closer.

Chloropidae, definitely yes; Calamoncosis, definitely not. ;)

Chloropidae; the common walnut pest is Polyodaspis ruficornis Mcq. Try this one

Ah, yes. I agree with P. ruficornis. ;)

- Apical scutellar setae long, strongly approximated and remaining marginal setae small... head longer and with more produced vibrissal angle. Polyodaspis

- Apical scutellar setae more widely separated and remaining marginal setae longer....head shorter and with less produced vibrissal angle... Lasiambia
