Good morningSmile
Maybe someone knows why species of the genus Anthomyia are attracted to cantharidin?

I think yiou will find the answer in this article:
Quantification of cantharidin in canthariphilous ceratopogonidae (Diptera), anthomyiidae (Diptera) and cantharidin-producing oedemeridae (Coleoptera)

According to the german wikipedia, the importance of this is still unclear.
I tried to access the article above, but it is not free... Sad

Thanks!
I will try to get this paper. I am just curious if these flies have the same aim in taking cantharidin like, for example, Anthicidae.

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
