Size around 3mm.
May 13, 2006.
A number of these flies walked busily up and down the trunk of Alnus. I spotted some bark beetles (Scolytidae, Dryocoetes alni) and their predators (Salpingidae, Rhinosimus planirostris) on same tree. Is there a chance that the flies are somehow connected with these beetles?
