 These flies were clustering in numbers on a rotting fallen _Carica papaya_ trunk. They show aggressive posturing chasing males and pursuing females and it seems like the male guards the female when it is ovipositing.

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
