I photographed this pair two days ago, in woodlands, alongside a very small stream. Location: West Virginia, USA. My size estimates made by measuring the images are 6.6 mm for the female and 4.1 mm for the male. ID help appreciated! --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Good call, Proctoss! Before you replied, I sent the page link to Brian Brown, the expert on Nearctic Phorids. His reply came back, Gymnophora luteiventris. Thank-you Tony, Nikita, Proctoss, and Brian Brown! --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |
