 today I made with my students some amber investgation; attached four pictures. Am I correct with my expectation about the identity of these flies et al?
(1) a dolichopodid male and ceratopogonid male
(2) smaller ceratopogogonid enlarged
(3) a grooup of three: a spider (web or ground) a dolichopodid and a larva
(4) enlarged a larva of probably beetle (between a grub and leaf beetle)

 I think you are right on all counts but I think the ceratopogonid probably is a chironomid. I'd say the beetle larvae is (near?) Chrysomelidae.

 the spider seems to be a mygalomorph - a small one.

 Pic. 2 is a chronomid: look at the scutellum which has a central longitudinal ridge, absent in Ceratopogonidae. And the thorax is arched over the head.

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
