Chorisops tibialis

Size: less than 1cm

These flies are found in the trees and most of the time they prefer the areas in the shadow, for these reasons they are difficult to find.

Stratiomyidae: The soldier flies are a family of Diptera. The family contains about 1,500 species in about 400 genera worldwide. Adults are found near larval habitats. Larvae can be found in a diverse array of situations mostly in wetlands and damp places in soil, sod, under bark, and in animal excrement and decaying organic matter. They are diverse in size and shape, though they commonly are partly or wholly metallic green, or somewhat wasplike mimics, marked with black and yellow or green and sometimes metallic. They are often rather inactive flies which typically rest with their wings placed one above the other over the abdomen.

Bonsoir Marie-Christine,
Il me semble déjà avoir photographié ce genre de mouche avec le thorax brillant, de grands yeux verts et des ailes repliées sur le corps. Je sais donc maintenant qu'il s'agit d'un petit soldat!
Bonne image sur fond clair de cette petite mouche.
Un grand merci et bonne soirée
Anne
