I saw this nice fly June 15 in South-West Turkey (near Gombe) at ca 2000 alt. Limestone mountains. I saw several at big boulders on moderately steep slopes with herbaceous vegetation. Size about as Calliphora.

I thouhgt about Calliphoridae/Aarcophagidae - needless to say, I hope for species ID!

I'm fond of this beautiful fly. This is a Wohlfahrtia, Sarcophagidae. The smaller fly seems to be an Ulidiidae.

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
