There are many species in our garden.
Characteristic: Small slender flies. Different colours. From yellow to
black.
Usually they are difficult to determine from a photo.
They feed on nectar and pollen but there are also predaceous species on
small flies.
When you want to see more species, you can look here.
The larvae are feeding on plants or decaying organic
matter. Sometimes they are miners.
German: Blumenfliegen
Different species Root-Maggot Flies (Anthomyiidae)
Anthomyia pluvialis / Anthomyia
parva Kabos Family Root-Maggot Flies (Anthomyiidae)
This fly has two names. The first name is the oldest. But
Anthomyia procellaris is also possible!!!
Pluvialis means in latin rain: It seems to dance
before it is raining. Eggs on rotting vegetation.
The Limnophora tigrina Family Muscidae is
a little bit similar
Cabbage fly, cabbage root fly, root
fly or turnip fly (Delia cf. radicum) Family Anthomyiidae.
The eggs are deposited at the base of plants including cabbage. The larvae
are a pest of crops.
2 - 3 generations a year. 4 -7 mm.
Egle ciliata / Egle brevicornis
Family Root-Maggot Flies (Anthomyiidae)
Het eerste vliegje, dat na deze lange, strenge winter in maart zag. Het is
een voorjaarsvliegje.
Hoogstwaarschijnlijk Egle ciliata.

Hydrophoria linogrisea Family
Anthomyiidae.
(Anthomyiidae)
I haven't found much information.
Leucophora spec. Family
Anthomyiidae.
(Anthomyiidae)
This flies can be recognized by the shape of the head. Further determine from a picture is difficult.
Like par example Nomada (cuckoo bees), they lay their eggs in nests of bees. Furthermore, there is very little information about these interesting flies
Pegomya spec. Family
Anthomyiidae.
The larvae seem to cause "foam cups" on Common Ragwort
I want to thank everyone, who has helped me (waarneming.nl)
to identify. In particular, Joke van Erkelens, Robert Heemskerk, Mark van Veen,
Gerard Pennard and Han Endt. With the determination of Tachinidae I have had
much help from Theo Zeegers. (On diptera)
