Visual Description
Anthomyza gilviventris is a species of anthomyzid fly. While specific morphological details are best observed in preserved specimens, the species is recognized within the genus Anthomyza [2]. Numerous specimens of this species have been documented in the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, which provides photographic records of these insects [1].
Biology and Ecology
Anthomyza gilviventris has been noted for its ability to occur in high densities within specific habitats. In one study, 218 adult specimens were collected from a relatively small area (approximately 30 m²) of Scirpus microcarpus in a residual sedge meadow, which was identified as an undeveloped urban site in Canada [3].
