01.10.06, Side, sand dunes. That day I was lucky enough to find a dead chameleo near Pistacia close to the beach (I would rather wish it was alive of course  ). First comes the object.

There was a lot of living things. Some nice bronze-coloured Histeridae, and of course those who boast just two wings. First I would mention the numerous small black and shiny flies, size around 2mm. Piophilidae or maybe Ephydridae?

May be Mosillus subsultans?
