Found in blackbird (Turdus merula) nest, 7-10-2018, Arnhem, The Netherlands.

The pharyngeal skeleton and mandibular sclerite are as described and depicted in Deeming 1998. Is there anyone with any suggestions as to how best to preserve and prepare the larvae? It is now in 70% ethanol.

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
