 Hello

Sorry if it looks like a sort of challenge... A single photo, from below....
These two small flies (about 5 mm) mating on a Cirsium on a dry fallow land, near an oak wood.

I thought that it may be some Conopidae but the abdomen seems too short. No other idea.
Thank you for help (if it's possible...)

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
