Bonjour !
In May and June, I used to see number of this Phoridae,
resting and eventually mating, on the leaves of ivy climbing on a mapple.
Is Phalacrotophora fasciata possible for this female ?

Thanks for your help

Phalacrotophora is correct, but 'specific' characters are not visible

Merci, Paul.
I understand that is impossible to see these characters on photography.

I see the number of Phoridae photos in the gallery is very limited. Also of this genus. Is it a good idea to add it as an example of a Phalacrotophora sp. to the gallery. It would be nice to get photos of at least most genera in the gallery.
