 I have two specimens swept from damp sand in a sand quarry and both key to Spilogona scutulata female. But one is dusted yellow-grey, the other one "grey-grey". Can anyone say whether either of these looks anything like S. scutulata, which is a scarce fly in the UK?

First photo - the yellow grey specimen:

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
