 During monitoring of hibernating bats in an old mining tunnel (Bakenbergstollen) in the Harz mountains (Germany), we observed this fly far deep in the tunnel. I suppose its a Scathophagidae, but I'm not pretty sure.

20.01.2019, Germany, Harz mountains, Hahausen, Bakenbergstollen

Best regards

 Similar to some Scathophaga of Scathophagidae but it is belonging to Heleomyzidae of which some species are typical cave inhabitants.

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
