 I have seen these ant-mimic (assassin?) bugs on large daisy flowers in my front garden recently - does anyone know what they are? Size: 4mm, location: southern England.

 Believe me, I have been trying ... again and again and again. The initial problem was spaces in the name but after I have corrected this (to Ant-bug.jpg) I am still unable to upload it. Sad The file is 79KB.

 It is in. Something in the file must have triggered the security response of the CMS.

 I see the picture perfectly.
The bug is Myrmecoris gracilis.

 This is not Myrmecoris - it is a nymph of Himacerus mirmicoides - the Ant Damsel Bug, very common throughout southern Britain.

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
