Tapeigaster luteipennis
A small fly about 15mm long with wings folded across its back. Well separated eyes. Clearly visible were a short proboscis and two bristly antennae on either side. Body appeared slightly dorso-ventrally flattened. The tibia were noticeably thick.
Usually seen on fungus. this one was spotted in side the house - should I be concerned ??
Thanks to argybee for the ID. Here's his spotting http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/121... - clear bands on tibia Here is a flickr photo - much clearer than my spotting http://www.flickr.com/photos/orgasmictom...
