Hello!

Coming to the Brachycera... Also from our garden in Ostwestfalen/Germany yesterday, three very tiny flies. The first one at a banana was only about 1.5 mm, the other two 2 mm. The third has remarkeably striped wings. I'm not sure about the family (not even if they all belong to the same family), could they be Phoridae? Thanks for any hints!

I'd say Sphaeroceridae.

The ephydrid is Limnellia, probably quadrata, though the wing pattern is difficult to make out.

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
