Small colourful fly on Mentha => probably Tecophora spec.
Volker
Hello,

I photographed this colourful fly which is only a few millimetres on peppermint today. What species is it?
Germany, Saarland, Bexbach, Garden on Mentha, Absolute Altitude 250 m, 23.07.2022

Greetings, Volker

Hi Volker, one of the Conopidae, I think - Thecophora?
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner
 
Volker
Thank you for your tip, Eric. That should be Thecophora distincta. Have a look at this identification key
