Hello, everyone
Any chance to ID those smallish flies, sitting on an asparagus shoot ?
Without being absolutely certain, I think I see them regularly on that plant...
Heron, Belgium, June 6th.

Thanks in advance for your help

Anthomyiidae.

Larvae of at least one species of Delia feed on Asparagus. I can't ID to genus from the picture.

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
