Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Small autumn fly

Posted by Philippe moniotte on 23-11-2007 08:30

There were many of those small ( 3 mm) flies in the Bois de Lauzelle (Louvain la neuve, Belgium) this november 22 2007. They were basking on the sunny side of large beech trees in the woods.
I would not even conjecture a family
Thanks for any help

I'd say Geomyza tripunctata (never saw 'em on trees, though).

Thanks Kahis. Perhaps they were simply using the warmest, sunniest spots around, which happened to be the tree bark...

I'd say Opomyza florum

I'd say Nikita is right.

I know Nikita is right!
