 Hi,

I would like to identify this very small fly photographed on the edge of a pond, 20km West of Paris.
Length about 3mm.

Any idea of its identity/family?
Thanks for help,

FRV

 Parydra aquila - distinguished by the very short bristles.

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

pjt - just send the post and attached image. Do not preview thread, as this will lose the link to the image,

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