Hello,

I remarked this fly on a flower, flapping its wings from time to time.

Altitude : 50 m - Taille : 3-4 mm
Réf. : 81556

Afterwards, on the computer, I saw that it doesn't flap both wings together.

Christoophe suggested a Calliopum sp?
Do you agree? Disagree? Is it possible to be more precise?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for answering so late.
The wings were flapped alternatively.
