    WOW! Great photo of an impressive mini-beast! It looks a lot like Coenosia tigrina, but there sooo many of these flies that look similar. I based it on the red "knee area" at the end of the hind femor (and I think mid femur, as well) AND also on the pair of bristles on the hind tibia. I could be misreading those features, though.

      Not far fetched- the description also mentions common in greenhouses, and this was taken right outside of one. Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

        Oh, interesting! One thing is for sure -- the bristles on its thorax are so impressive! Posted 4 years ago
