We've been playing around with a stinky protist, and wondering if it's stink served any purpose.

So we set out a rigged scent trap and got a single fly species investigating it. I live surrounded by farm land (animals) Franco-suisse border (Geneva-area). There are lots of types of flies in the area.

This species was smaller than a typical housefly and larger than a Drosophila. It looks a lot like a Muscoidea to us. My guess is that maybe it is some sort of Fannia sp. I had my friend snap some macrophotos. Sorry for the bacteria on the eyes. I was wondering if anyone maybe able to offer a more definitive ID.

I would say Anthomyiidae, but difficult to be sure.

Probably Delia because of the many short pv on the hind tibia.

Thanks I'd prefer it to hang out of vegetable roots than latrines at least, in terms of where to sample

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
