 I photographed this in a hedgerow bordered by hay meadows in Cheshire, UK. I initially thought it was a small Rhagionidae but it only has 2 pads on its feet. Is it possibly a Therevidae? Or something else entirely...

 Hi Ray, it looks like Platypalpus (Hybotidae) to me (but I'm often wrong)Wink

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
