Hello Boldav,
Welcome to this site! Grin
I think I can tell you something about the flies you pictured here.
1) A fly from the family Calliphoridae, probably a Calliphora sp.
2,3,4) Are flies of the family Anthomyiidae, in which 2 and 3 are females, and 4 is a male.
5) A fly from the family Scathophagidae (Dung flies), probably even the genus Scathophaga!
6) Is a Syrphidae, from the genus Melanostoma. Probably a male Melanostoma mellinum, because the face is dusted!

Greetings,
Greetings,
Gerard Pennards

Hello Boldav,
When I say Calliphora sp., it means that I know this fly is in the genus Calliphora, but I don't know what species!
So, it means it is a sp. (species) in the genus Calliphora!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
