Hello!
These 2.5 mm flies were numerous yesterday in our garden (Ostwestfalen/Germany) at the sugary fruit-moth bait (by far more flies at the bait than lepidoptera ;-)). Is it safe to say, that they are
Thaumatomyia notata or is it something other? Thanks!

Hi J?rgen
I'm not an expert, but your fly looks like Thaumatomyia notata...

Yes, it looks very similar, thanks! But as a non-expert I was not sure, if there are - as in most cases... - other, similar looking species (for me, not the experts ;-)).
