Hello
i found this fly in my garden at Lake Thun 600m NN. It is worn, by the heavy rain or by a long flight. It must be Arctophila bombiformis, female. An old Swiss list tells that the spezies is normally found in the mountains between 900 and 2000m. Is that still correct and my animal just a lonely migrant?
Regards Maja

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
