That seems to be Paracraspedothix (one species only: montivaga). Any info on habitat of this fly ? Theo |

I always think that it lives in wet woodland, kitchen windows and shady driveways (from the localities that were reported to me)  These all seem to point towards a species that attacks something on shade-loving plants.

Sounds like idea habitat - damp, shady woodland
