Berlin - September 2019

Hello everyone,

I think that this is a member of Sphaeroceridae and it looks similar to Leptocera genus. Anyone able to confirm the genus?

Best wishes,
John

Thank you, John. I appreciate you very much.

it might be difficult to figure out a genus because it is covered in mites on the ventral side, some of which is visible in this photo (the reddish area to the left of the thorax).

I don't know what the white stuff is on the thorax. Very dirty fly Smile

Best wishes,
John

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
