Hello!

This small (5-6 mm) fly I found today here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Can it be identified from the photo?




And here another one. Am I right, when I call it Urophora stylata?



Thanks in advance for every reply!

Hello J?rgen,

I think all three of them are U. stylata.

Hello, Ben!



Thanks! Now, that you say it... I have never seen U. stylata with closed wings. X-)

Dear Juergen,

It is without a doubt Urophora stylata, all of them. They often sit and walk around plants and flowers with closed wings. They 'll only display their wings if another specimen is encountered.

Best wishes,

John
