Small, 4-5mm. Melancholic, was happy to sit still, blow bubbles and show off its red rucksack whilst I photographed. On Tanacetum vulgare, in mixed grassland, 20m from a wooded stream. 18th August, 2022 @ 17:50 on a hot day in a drought. Flensburg N.Germany, 54.754211N 9.420943E , +/- 50m asl. Many Thanks in advance Edited by Ray Perry on 20-08-2022 14:16 |

Anthomyza sp. with a mite. Generally, some mites parasitize Diptera while some others are phoretic. I think that this one is a parasite, but not sure. Apparently it does not belong to phoretic Macrochelidae. |
