 I found this impressive red-eyed fly in wet land
in the Netherlands, de Wieden, on 18-7-2008.
Is this easy to recognize or are there look-a-likes again?

 Sorry, missed the second question.

As long as you are in western Europe and the scutellum is dark, you are fine with Oplodonta viridula.
Note, however, that some Odontomyia have a remarkably similar abdominal pattern (but scutellum partly yellow).

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
