Anyone can help with this one ? Captured on 14 May 2011, South Bohemia (Czech republic), on the edge of a forest. Could it be Dryodromia sp. ?

Thank you, David

I guess Psillidae!

Thank you Sara but I am puzzled as to the family (Psillidae) as it suggests Homoptera (Heteroptera). I still think there is a fly on the image :)

OMG!!!! sorry, my mean was Psilidae!! :S :S

What a confunsion ! Thank you Sara for your correction, I think you are right. I have checked which genera of Psilidae family are listed for the Czech republic, they are:

Chamaepsila, Chyliza, Loxocera, Oxypsila, Psila and Psilosoma.

Any idea which one we are talking about ? Don't be frightened to guess ;)

I'm not an expert of Psilidae, but looks like Psila to me! and if I have more confidence, I guess maybe fimetaria;)
