The following fly, from a bog at 1485 m in the Kerkini Mts of Northern Greece was caught in a Malaise trap 30-June-2008 to 6-July-2008.

It is just over 5 mm long, and the wings are very thin (for a ceratopogonid), but it looks like one and the venation is indicative.

Now the whole fly with a typical Drosophilid for comparison.

Thanks Paul,
Did you get my last email? I could put a similar button on my website if I could work out how to do it.
