 Hi all,

Is this a possible infestation in my collection? There are lots of these "threads" all over the insect, the clearest photo i could get was on the antennae.

Are these signs of an infestation or just dust/fibres?

many thanks!

 It is fungus and a sign that your collection is kept in circumstances that are too humid.

Hi. Please delete all photos of E. carrapateira I've uploaded. I did not remember that I already had uploaded that species in particular. Except the pallidifacies (this was not present yet). Thank

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

@zeegers, your book seems difficult to get from Spain, is there another way?
