 Hi,

I would like to identify this black fly.

Photographed 08.08.18, 20km West of Paris.
Edge of a forest pond. About 5-6mm.

Any idea of its identity? Thanks fot your help,

FRV

 Probably Tachinidae but there are a few similar Calliphoridae (like Morinia) and Sarcophagidae.

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
