 I thought they were, but just wondered why the males looked so different, plus the male in the second photo is much smaller than the female.

 There is a huge variation in size (mostly determined by food availability to larvae) and the colours may also vary considerably

 Thanks for that Paul....there's no shortage of dung in Shetland.(almost named after the stuff)..the place is full of sheep, and there is a herd of 100+ cows in various parks around the Airport so the larvae should be well nourished...(typing this while having breakfast).

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
