Phania funesta and ?
Michael Becker
Hello,

the black fly on the right is Phania funesta, I guess. But what is the small yellow thing on the left. A Meromyza species? If yes, are there some very common species of this genus in germany?

Thanks,
Michael

Phania funesta is right (with the caveat that thoracica looks almost identical but is incredibly rare Wink) - not sure about the other one Smile

The yellow/black fly is rather Thaumatomyia.

Regards.
Stephane.

Hello,

thank you for the anwers. The small yellow fly looks indeed very much like the Thaumatomyias in the gallery. Only that I can't see anything black on the abdomen. Is this something special, or is this specimen simply weakly colored?

There is some species with mostly yellow abdomen (see T. notata) and other with more extensive black markings. Not a problem. Wink
