This beetle has its head hidden like a Lampyrid, and some other features look like Lampyridae too. But at least where I live I have never seen these colors on a Lampyrid. ID help will be appreciated!

I think it should be Lampyrid, genus Cratomorphus. But I am not expert... Libor

It could be a net winged beetle, family Lycidae, but I think are also some Lampyridae that look like this!

Look at No. 17 Lamprocera picta var.. it's very similar.

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
