Janet - What amazing shots (re Anisopodidae Sylvicola cinctus)! Having tried a couple of shots of them this week in the garden I realise how tinsily winsily tricky they are! |

Thanks Rhona, these tend to sit still for you. The male was on Ivy, female on the door inside. It's all a matter of pratice using manual settings, easy when you know how!  A good lens and teleconverter helps, these teensy insects are big to me by comparison now!

The fly is from the Anisopodidae family, often described as 'Window Gnats'. The wing-venation should help get to genus (the 'Anisopus' or 'Sylvicola' part), and genital examination for full species-level (i.e.: Sylvicola fenestralis, our most common).
I don't think these can be fully-done photographically.

The keys if anyone wants to use them.. most can be done by wing venation is you have good enough close ups. Online Identification Keys
