hello insectforum, I catched this kind of wasp(?) in my house, first I thougt it was a little fly.., but when I looked more specific it doesn't look like a fly. The length is about 1,5 - 2 mm. Is it kind of wasp?. I made some picture's so I could see more of it. I can see long antenne's, the head is small and looks like an Ichneumon's head. hair on black/green shiny thorax. Upper Abdomen got also an greenish glimp and on the end of the abdomen it is redish! The end of the tail there is a pair of pincers? I can use some help.., which direction do I have to look? greetings, Robert Heemskerk Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [71.81Kb] Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 18-03-2006 18:18 |

I have to disappoint you, Robert, it is a dark-winged fungus gnat (Sciaridae), a midge.

I am happy with a gnat!  That is a large family, the 'dark-winged fungus gnats', I think..? So, I will give the name Sciaridae sp. to it. I have to learn more about flies I think. But I like it, I look forward to other 'flies' regards Robert Heemskerk Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 18-03-2006 23:58 |
