 Last Friday I dug a small pond in my garden. Chironomids were flying over it as soon as the first drops of water were in. Other insects have arrived during Saturday and Sunday, and today (Monday) I was watching some ephydrids feeding on the drowned bodies of various other insects. The photo is not very good, but shows what I believe to be a female Hydrellia griseola feeding at the edge of the pond from the drowned body of an ant Lasius niger sens. lat.

Ponds are cool Cool

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
