No Rivellia. The one species of the genus recorded from your part of the world is R. syngenesiae, which is completely different. Perhaps the piophilid, Mycetaulus bipunctatus?

If it is the piophilid, then the hedgehog is exactly what the fly was looking for.

I sometimes find this fly (Mycetaulus bipunctatus) among opomyzid material. And well ..... I have to admit, superficially it looks like a Geomyza species. Jan Willem |

It even acts very much like Geomyza or Rivellia... But really, what is the reason to have spotted wing, if you don't move its permanentelly?
