Tiny fly about 1.7mm bodylength taxiing for take off near one of my compost heaps. Assume the mites are passengers rather than parasites? Any ideas on the fly- lot of them around on the compost heap at the moment? Thanks Brian V.  |

Hi Brian. If you have no wings, how to travel from one compost heap to another? This mites took ticket on right flight, Sphaeroceridae-Airlines is a good heap-to-heap charter. Nikita Edited by Nikita Vikhrev on 11-10-2006 08:45 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Nice capture! I think this might be a Chaetopodella scutellaris. |
