Sailing fly

Hello Fly-forum,

This little fly was floating on the surface of a lake.
With some wind it was sailing over the water.

Is it a Sciaridae specie?

greetings, Robert

I think this is a gall midge (Cecidomyiidae).

Thank you Paul,

I never heard of them, but some of them are useful in the fight against Therodiplosis and Aphididae (I read).

Nice to know, I have learned some of 'a little fly' today! Smile

greetings, Robert

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
