Is it a very common Musca domestica or something else? Thank you in advance!

Definitely not Musca domestica - no bend in the M vein. I suspect Fannidae.

So, according to you it is Anthomyiidae rather than Fannidae. What is the main characteristic feature of Anthomyiidae? I still hesitate when I try to determine the family. I do not know how to separate the families from each other.

Anthomyiidae or Muscidae. The characters separating these two families are rather obscure. They were split only in the 1970s.

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
