I'm wondering whether this empid might be a Rhamphomyia sp.? Seen in the margin of a commercial strawberry field in Kent, UK on 11/05/2021. Any help with the ID would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Dylan

I also spotted this second individual, which I think might also be a Rhamphomyia sp. Apologies for the poor-quality photos!

Hi Dylan, Rhamphomyia is correct and if the first are of the same species it may be R. crassirostris.

Greetings, Eric

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
