Diastata (MA)

One of the species with more strongly patterned wings. Different than the one you posted two years ago. Great addition to Bugguide!

Matthias,

Thanks for the fly identifications. Would you like me to save any of these specimens for you to possibly get to species?

Species

According to Kevin Barber this is probably D. repleta, but some of the wing pattern details are obscured here, which does not allow a certain ID. Yes, you can keep this and other small flies, and send them at some point for me to look at.

Great!

I'll save these small flies that photos only get to genus for you. When I get more, I'll need you to email me your address to mail them to.
Thanks Matthias!
