Hi, These are photos of Berlin Ivy (Hedera helix) in October, and one of its visitors is this tiny fly. It has a short proboscis and I would put it in genus Rhamphomyia. A confirmation (or another genus proposal) is probably the best that these pics allow. Thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [176.28Kb] Edited by Sundew on 15-02-2008 23:24 |

No, this is Platypalpus (Hybotidae).

Ha - I wanted to name the thread "tiny Hybotid" first, but then I remembered a previous proboscis discussion leading to Rhamphomyia. Many thanks for correction! Sundew |
