Hello,
This specimen was observed recently on january at home. For me its appearance is typical of Megaselia genus. But, I am surprised by the enlarged hind femurs. Are you in agreement with me ? Many thanks in advance. Jean-Michel Garel.

Normally Megaselia are not identifiable from pictures but there are a few exceptions. You are lucky, this is one of the exceptions. The smaller pictures show very thick erect setae on the abdomen, characteristic for Megaselia rufipes.

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
