Description: Euthycera fumigata belongs to the Sciomyzidae family of flies which are generally considered to be Snail-killing flies - the fly larvae parasitising the snails. With the fine 'netted' appearance of its closely overlapped wings it is noticeably slimmer and presents a different appearance to most other flies in the Diptera family. The rather unusual antennae give rise to it being referred to as a 'Horn Fly' in Germany.
