Hello,

yesterday I found these small (about 4mm or a bit less) flies on the flowers of an apiaceae near a small forest in germany. Costa and radius seem a little bit stronger than the other veins. Phoridae, or what is it?

Thanks,
Michael

Hello,

yes, Phasia barbifrons looks good. Thank you. Somehow I expected always a triangular topcell for tachinidae.
