Not the best of photos technically, but I rather like the way this tiny fly (about 2 mm) throws up a huge shadow. I've tentatively identified it as Sepsidae, Sepsis sp., am I anywhere near right?

Just for the delight of it, can't resist posting this additional picture of a Sepsis who seems to be dancing on the leaf (actually he was cleaning his abdomen with great concentration!).

Enjoy! Sarah

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
