 It's a seed (Asteraceae?), with the pappus still attached.

 Well, it looks quite unusual, but if really Asteraceae, it would be a nut fruit, not a seed. The seed would be tightly included.
Otherwise, there are seeds bearing a hair tuft in e. g. Epilobium, but this strange thing does not ring a bell to me...

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
