Thanks Paul, do Dryomyzids lay their eggs on fungi?

The pic in the gallery of Neuroctena anilis was on dog doings, I wondered if the fungi could have been mistaken or the fly got caught out needing a place to drop an egg!

I have had Neuroctena anilis, and got pics of them mating too. I still see an occasional one on the Ivy. The female was around 10mm, it would have to be a big fly to have an egg that size and she was certainly busting at the seams.

I'm wondering if this could be an earlier stage of Neuroctena anilis.
