While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

 Prosthiochaeta? Although I don't have the article in which the genus was established (Enderlein, 1924, Mitt. zool. Mus. Berl 11: 97-153) it looks very much like numerous images from Korea and Taiwan in the Web and in other sources, e.g. Han, 2013 (Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity 29 (1): 56-69). Not yet recorded from Nepal I believe.

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
