Unfortunately I was on away for a week and so couldn't take any more photos until 28 Jan, by which the fly was rather dried up... especially the femora that seem to have collapsed in on themselves.
Here is the only shot I took.
When I tried to reposition the fly to do detailed photos from a different angle part of the thorax broke away and the fly was dangling loosely from the pin.
I've tried gluing on more firmly but have not tried any more photos.
Please help me identify the species of this Suillia sp.
If I need to prepare photos of the genitalia, please advise on the best method.
Best wishes,
Martin
