Berlin - July 2014

Hello everyone,

I only have one photo and i made it with a compact camera (cheap garbage) in 2014. I just started paying attention to diptera in 2014. I knew nothing about cameras or photography. Sorry for the bad quality but it is what it is. I don't know which family this belongs to. I'd like to get an idea of what it is and hopefully i can find it again for macro photos.

Thank you,
John

Thank you, Paul. I didn't think about Sciomyzidae. I need to polish my identification skills. Meantime, i'm going to see if i can find this again. I may still have time this year. I have photos of a similar species but mostly yellow in the same place - a local park with a marsh and pond. I'll keep looking this year. I'd like to get better photos and id it.

I'd say Pteromicra (angustipennis?)

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
