and why did you love so much dipters?

There are people that look at us like some very strange guys, not normal, indeed. Smile So I wonder hear your main reasons for your connection with flies. How does it appear this "love" for dipters?

Let's go hear your opinions about this eternal, enduring question. lol Grin

Perhaps because most entomologists are into beetles or butterflies and we want to be different!? Cool

Because in the UK there just aren't enough species of butterflies or dragonflies, and I needed something that was going to keep me occupied and could be done in my own backyard.

Because I want to know who is roaming in my garden. And there are some flies too.

(I hope it will be a pretty nice list of arguments)

Because in the past we were ALL flies. Grin LOOL Well, I don't believe in these blunders. Wink

I think that the richness of ecological niches for flies is very appealing and the fact that there is SO MUCH to know about them turns the field of dipterology so interesting. And thinking of flies like fabulous evolution's machines and the fact that they are here even before the human being landed. Wink
But, really I don?t know why this inclination for dipters appears... it is a mystery.

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
