Nice picture! It might be Dioctria hyalipennis, but I'm not sure.

Definitely looks like D. hyalipennis since the risen part below the antennae is so low. The near-species [i]D. rufipes, which by the way also occurs there in the east (and not here) has a substantially higher "knob" there. |

Photographed a couple of days ago meandering around on a wall. I sent one in previously which Camille ID'd http://www.dipter...d_id=20460 Regards Roger Edited by Roger Thomason on 19-03-2010 12:22 |

Ekhohe beautifully enlarged and circled the key element of this case above. And now I'm even more certain that this can't be rufipes, since that one really has quite a bulge there! |

Hi Roger, I don't think your Trombicula is the same kind of mite, aren't they (or rather the larvae) supposed to parasitise small mammals rather than insects? Tim |

Thanks Tim I don't often stray into this Forum, and it may be some time before I do so again  . I read up on Acari after posting my reply .To quote Stephen R "Another dent in my ignorance". BTW, had a look on your Website and was pleased to see someone give a mention to Diptera.info and the people who determine their flies http://thetopsham...f-day.html Great Artwork  . Well worth a visit.Sorry for going off topic on this thread... Roger Edited by Roger Thomason on 20-03-2010 14:52 |

Very kind of you to say so, Roger. I hope the flies don't take over the blog entirely, but there's always that danger. I expect my ignorance could give yours a run for it's money, by the way. I didn't know there was such a thing as off topic. Tim |

Tim Well to quote Hugo, (Victor . not Chavez ) " The learned man knows that he is ignorant".I might be the exception to that particular idea .If there is such a thing as going off topic, then you can be sure I will have some part in it.
