From today just north of Stockholm. I was experimenting with captured fly in plastic container and plastic food wrap over it, but the food wrap gave a lot of reflections etc. Anyway, here are two (not very good) photos of this green eyed fly. Actually there was two in the container, but I think both where the same species ... so I can't garantee that it's the same fly on both pictures. Got an idea for ID? Family?

It is an hypothesis but I thought in tephritidae family. Green eye, wings with marks (with design that remembers to me a tephritidae...), but I'm just a very novice.  |

Tephritidae is my hypothesis too. On second image venaition is visible, and Sc vein raech C under angle 90, it is very characteristic for Tephritidae. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Definitely Tephritidae, but I must confess that I am not sure what it is... The specimens looke very fresh, so the wingcoloration could be under developped. If you still have the specimen, you should be able to see more dark spots on the wings after a few hours. A wild guess would be a male Xyphosia miliaria. But if you still have the specimen I would like some new pictures from avove to confirm this ID. John |
