 Hello!

A week ago there sat a fly on a bush at a wood lane at the outskirts of Zwickau, SE Saxony, Germany. It was 8 mm long and slurped up a bug.

Can you identify this fly and its sex, please?

Thank you

 It is a female Dioctria robberfly. I think it is D. linearis but let's wait for an expert opinion.

 And the prey is an anthocoridae, possibly genus Orius.

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

pjt - just send the post and attached image. Do not preview thread, as this will lose the link to the image,

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
