 I came a cross a Stinkhorn (Phallus impudicus) fungus in the Woods yesterday (foothills of the Dublin Mountains, Ireland).

As is typical it had attracted several species of flies which had eaten away the black slimey cap revealing the "honey comb" surface.

Can anyone help identify them?

 It seems to have an aphrodisiac effect for some species

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
