Dear All,

Can you help me identifying these Asilidae? The male kept hovering around the rear of the female, even though I accidentaly disturbed them a couple of times, causing the female to relocate. In the end the male gave up after which the female closed her wings.

Suriname, Para, Zanderij (Savanna), XI-2012

Thanks in advance,

Scarabaeoid

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
