 Suffolk, UK. 7th May 2020. Freraea gagatea

A few of these came to a large water pan trap (swimming pool!) in warm windless weather. Plenty of Harpalus ground beetles too which are known hosts.
At first sight on water they look a little like Lasioglossum bees because the wing shading and whitish lower calypter gives them a waisted appearance I think.

 Superb! I believe this is quite a rare species.

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
