Hello to all!
Is there a chance to narrow down a bit from Culicidae? There were many of them sitting on leaves, so that I took pictures and was glad that they ignored me so far. Length was about 1cm.

It didn't bite you because it is a male of the non-biting genus Toxorhynchites. The name is Greek for "bent nose" (approximately), referring to the curved proboscis that is only good for poking at flowers.

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
