surely, but in this case (R. livida?) the male seems to lose control with his gift and does not keep the prey in his hind legs as ii usually does. I expect that males in certain cases can use the same prey repetitively. Nice shot!

Empis]/i], not [i]livida. Cannot say from the picture. The unfortunate gift is another Empis... And when the female is handling the gift, the male does not have to hold on to it anymore.

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
