Hi, This is a case for Jan Willem, but every other advice is gratefully accepted, too! The little creature came before my camera in Berlin in last September, and I remember I already had a quite similar one identified by Jan Willem as Opomyza florum. I can only guess from the habit, but I wouldn't be surprised if this one belonged to the same genus and perhaps species. Thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [171.36Kb] |

You are completely right , this is Opomyza florum. Do you have more details on the exact date and location?

Sure, the location is the same as for the Opomyza florum of thread http://www.dipter...ad_id=9063 that you found to look extraordinarily dark. It is the Spaeth Arboretum in Berlin-Baumschulenweg, i. e. a small botanical garden. The present fly was seen on September 22, the dark one on October 9 - maybe it is the same specimen that darkened because of age and autumn season?! However, I am glad I recognized it among all the yellow Suillias and Scathophagas and Sapromyzas that crowd in my collection of summer pictures still unprocessed. Thanks and best wishes, Sundew |
