Diptera from sow dung
Posted by Paul Beuk on 14 February 2005 14:07:20
During some work for our company (Gerard's and mine), we collected several samples of sow dung. From this dung we collected a number of Diptera species, which we will list here. If anyone has additions to this list from other localities, I will be glad to add them.
