2 years ago in end of March in Sochi region, Andrey Ozerov and me collected flies during complet solar eclips.
To whom it may concern (or be interesting):
during eclips it becomes not only very few light, but also very cold.
Rezume: either Syrphidae or eclips :p

LOOOOOOOOL Nikita!! seeing the corona solar is among the best things in Nature to see!!! At least stare on it during 30 s is OBLIGATORY! I shed in tears when I saw the eclipse in SIDE - Turkey ... with a symphony behind of me, and Apollo temple!! Unforgettable!

But in next time, I will observe during the TSE the behaviour of the flies. :) Maybe we must get lots of corpses of bats, cats, dogs, seacrabs, etc etc, :D

The next TSE will be the longest of all century: almost 7 minutesd in Japan, China! lucky guys!

I'm preparing the 2026 12th August eclipse. ;)
http://eclipse.gs...oogle.html I will collect weather data, topography data, access and so. ;) early? maybe. but not for this crazy. :D
