 Hi,

I have photographed this small (about 3mm long) diptera on a dead leave in a deciduous forest near Paris.
Any idea on its identity? Family, genus?
Thanks for your help,

F.R.V.

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
