Collecting in tundra isn't easy. Photo abouve shows Culicidae around my head, but there was even worse families - Tabanidae (sorry Stephen), Simulidae and Ceratopogonidae - altougether it has Russian name "gnus". When you work 1 year in such conditions it counts as two year.

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
