This beauty used to be the holy grail when we were collecting insects as kids.
It is very wary, but I got a pic today as it was resting on a tree.

About 20 mm, maybe even larger.

As kids we never caught one, but I am hoping for a good photo soon.

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
