Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Chloropidae fly?
#1
Hi flyforum
Taken today, 27th August 2006 in Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL.
This fly appears when I realized that some pillbugs (Isopoda) were died...
Chloropidae fly? If so, is it possible genus? About 3 mm (?). Very small indeed.

Not Chloropidae - the yellow species are never as bristly as this appears to be. I think this is
Palloptera (Pallopteridae). Paul may be able to suggest a species.

I'd rather say it is Lauxaniidae...

Again... but the wings haven?t marks in wings... as I see in dipter gallery, and abdomen tip is not so angular... but a little round tip... yes, it's true that this fly has bristles. In some way, this fly seems so much interested in pillbugs...
Thanks! Wait for more answers!

oh.. no! more Lauxaniidae flies.
I want new family flies.

Did I say
Palloptera? - my blood sugar must be low!

You must prove "Viriato" pastel.
It is a good dessert from Viseu. And it is, indeed, very sweet... so, you would have lots of glycosis.
But, look out for flies... because they like a lot of "Viriato".
