 Hello!

Here's a fly that mimics an ichneumon..

Brackish swamp. lowlands, malaysia.
It waves its front legs like a micropezidae...
is it a micropezid?

Thanks

 What a beauty! I don't know what it is, but I think the leg-waving is part of the mimicry, representing the wasp's antennae.

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
