Newborn Barkfly?

Paul Iddon

These are already at 2:1 magnification - and the fly was so tiny I could barely see it, let alone focus on it. I'm assuming it is newly born(?) as in the first image, one of it's wings is still furled under, and over the next minute or two, that wing straightened like the other wing.

Not sure if it is a barkfly or something else. Size? To small to suggest, but maybe ½mm to 1mm?

Good captures- certainly is an adult bark fly, looks too coloured to have only just moulted though ?

Cheers Brian. I figured it was a barkfly - didn't know they mouthed though.
