Mycophaga testacea

Mycophaga testacea is a two-coloured fly. Head, thorax and the largest part of the shield are greyish, the remainder of the body is orange brownish. So are the upper parts of the legs, the lower parts are black. In literature the size is given as between 7 and 10 mm. The larvae do not live in plant roots, but in decaying organic material. And that is all we could find about this species. Let us know if you have any more particulars.
