 Hi,
I found this diptera on the wall of my balcony near Bologna, Italy on May 13, 2020 - is the family correct and is it possible to further identify it. Thanks a lot for your help Smile

 Yes, family is correct, and it's one of the tribe Chironomini, possibly Chironomus sp. John Carr may be able to say more.

 The large frontal tubercles suggest Chironomus.

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
