Here we have the same problems with picture quality as in your other "orange fly" thread. This is a Psila (Psilidae), probably P. fimetaria. To exclude P. merdaria we have to see if there is a dark spot on the outside of the 3rd antennal segment just below the arista. That spot is lacking in P. merdaria. So let's say P. cf. fimetaria. Regards, Sundew |

I agree, Psila fimetaria, see https://micropezi...my/term/83 Quite a number of photographs of these pass through iNaturalist at https://www.inatu...tanypezids many of them are tough! Edited by Darwyn Sumner on 29-07-2022 12:40 |
