Sorry but it's not clear to me. English isn't my first language and I am sure to understand correctly what you mean by "the dreaded villa" ?  |

I think Paul wants to express the "unpopularity" of the genus Villa. The flies are lovely but usually cannot be identified beyond genus level, because the many species are either insufficiently known or can be told apart only by dissection and examination of the genitalia. So all inquiries, equipped with the best pictures, get the same unsatisfying reply: "Well, it's a Villa" - dead end. Therefore the genus is "feared"... (You had already a Villa discussion in another thread!) Regards, Sundew Edited by Sundew on 30-06-2008 16:41 |
