Fly

This genus of small flies (2-4 mm) are ant mimics. The are 24 species in the genus and whilst the species can be determined with a good key it is almost impossible to identify them without microscopic examination of the specimen. The genus is generally easy to recognise however by the dark spots near the end of each wing (in British species, there are European species such as S. lateralis which lack these spots). (LINK)
