No clue with this micro-fly on my mosquito netting (yes that small).:)

Dorsal view of Ephydridae is not easy to determine. In this case if I see (and it is really so) - spots of wing not contacting veins and not perfectly round but of irregular form - then it maybe Philygria stictica (Meigen, 1830).B)

Cranefly,
Unexpted identification of this species. Sure that
Philygria stictica must be one of the few by photo identificable ephydrid flies. :)
Thanks for your kind help,
Cranfly.
