Hi


For me it is a little strange to talk with real persons in net without knowing their faces. So, I start here to show mine photo - to see the first crazy for dipters here in the list. Feel free to send yours (it is not obligation!), so you can put a face in the name and turns it easy and approach more us. :)

But it would be great to see many faces here. Let?s go. ;)

the crazy (very) amateur dipterologist - i forgot to put a fly somewhere in the photo :D:D:D

---

Victor Kolyada

---

Good idea.

Me and my children.

---

My friend Robert Nash authorize to me to put a photo of him.

here goes:

---

I know I said that is not obligation, but I don?t believe you (almost all) are so shy to show yourselves. :) Come on, let?s go to put a human face to the names!!! 563 to go. :) At least, the people who are more active in the forum it would be great to know your photo :P. :) Indeed, I know some faces, grateful to Google. :) eheh But I think it would be very nice to see all other crazy :) dipterlogists here! Thank you for your attention. :)

---

Hi All and Jorge in particular,
Great idea. I too would like to know what fellow Dipterists look like. Here am I with my net, which always brings a smile to my face!

---

Nikita

---

Nigel, you should be able to edit AND delete your own messages. Come on, give it a try. ;)

---

Ah,
After several attempts I at last spotted the delete this post box!:D

---

come on. Let?s go show more! 6 in 576 is very little :P
Let's go take photos not just for flies. :D :D
Thanks for all that shared with us! :)

---

And why only males?:p

---

My wife Cilja (who discovers lots of nice insects for me) and myself. In the background our terrace, where I photograph most of my flies.

---

Diph, not even a rudiment of a dipterist, but, at least, obviously got a midge or so into his right eye ...B)

---

hey! keep sending more. I'm waiting for more photos. :D
Let?s go. ;)

---

come on! Don't be shy. I don't believe that in hundreds:) you are all shy. :P

---

Well, I have very few photos showing me. I dug out the last one, that shows me. This pic was made in January in Ethiopia in the Bale National Park in Afro-Alpine moorland at an altitude of around 3500 m. This was the 2nd time I rode a horse so do not consider me a natural born rider.

---

we are waiting for more photos. :)

That scenery is fantastic, Gabor!!!

---

more than 300 views... it means that dipterologists are very curious and "very shy" :P
i'm waiting for more photos. Turn your camera and take the other face. :D

---

Every time you post a new message 30 or more people come to see what you wrote this time. In this way you can go to 1000 thread view without adding another image. :P

Everyone dying to meet my face on the net can google it. It is out there. :P

---

i know that. :D eheh .

Besides, I know some portraits, and some more that don?t post here yet. But I want that all post here their portraits. And the number will increase, I know. :)

---

pAUL?



Is that you ?

---

I knw someone would find it. Syill, that links completely screws up the page layout for this thread. Better edit you post, or else... LoL :D

---

i knew you Paul. ;) eheh (as I told before:P)
Put your photo here, please; now everybody knows. ;)

---

OK. Here's one of me a few years ago - dressed for a typical summer's day in Norfolk, England. B)

---

So now we know how Paul looks like :)...

09.09.2006, Moscow region, Naro-Fominsk district, Ozhigovo station (ca. 55 km SW of Moscow).

---

Hello,

After all, we all look quite normal, for dipterists!

---

apparentely. :) ehehehe :D

I hope to see more photos. :) Not just dipters, but women dipterologist. That?s your turn. ;) It's fair, I think. :D

---

i?m still waiting for more. :)

---

more than 600 views! :) Let?s go to put more photos. ;) show us what flies see. :)

---

Well, that's me

English and biology-teacher and hobby dipterist
Greetings to everybody!

G?nter

---

Hello,
my daughter took this one specially for the occasion.

Best regards.

---

Introducing a real amateur, my daughter Meike:

---

What's more interesting: the artist or the art itself? ;)

---

I was a little disappointed by Nikita's picture, my imagination having been influenced by the French film of that name.

I've not tried to post a picture before, but with luck here I am at Cors Goch, North Wales, 2003, digging a pond.

John Bratton

---

I dare say, with such questions, you are asking for trouble. :P

---

I would like to see more photos of collections (pinned flies in boxes etc), perhaps in another thread. I think it is inspiring even though I don't collect myself B)

---

Completely unable to compete with Meike, who is clearly the world's cutest dipterist, but here is a picture of me at Christmas time, when I spent my time clearing 15 years growth of bramble, ivy and elder from our newly acquired garden in France.

Jorge - you may not have to wait too long for more women in entomolgy - I have just come back from my Surveying Terrestrial Invertebrates module for university, and everyone doing that module this year is female :D

---

:D first brave woman in diptera.info. :D

---

Sorry, didn't notice this thread until today ... so here I am :D

---

Here, I'm helping my friemd to observe biology of Nanna (Scathophagidae):D

---

it is very interesting to know the faces of everybody! Thanks! Keep sneding more photos! ;)

---

Here I am enjoying some traditional Finnish scenery with my 0.5-year-old niece.

I'm wearing green, she's the one in white :p I hope being drooled upon and chewed didn't diminish the magic of my lucky collecting hat :)

---

Ahh, so it is actually you in the avatar ;) Wonderful scenery, cool swedish jacket and cute toddler :D

---

Spectacular scenery! And very nice Finnish baby! Thanks Jere!

---

I have rather few of myself .. the camera normally points the other way ... but, I've not changed much since Namibia B)

---

come on! :)
we are more than 700... and just a few shared portrait photos. ;)
Don't be shy! ;)

---

Moscow city.
Chris Raper and me regard flies :D

---

Hmm, you could have fooled me. I think the box just happened to be there. :P

---

No Paul, just 2 dedicated Dipterists examining flies; oh, the dark brown liquid is a bait in the hope of attracting some Drosophila and I think Chris may have already caught a couple:D

---

Nikita: "do you want some, Chris?"
Chris: "No. Thanks, I ate that this afternoon, I'm happy with this tea."
Nikita: "Come on. Take one! It tastes so good!"
Chris thinking: "Damn. it looks so good those flies. I wish to eat some, but I ate a lot this afternoon."

Chris don?t forget to seek for Dryomyzidae flies. :)

ps -- the bottle of wine is for cheating us. :P

---

He shouldn't have swallowed them. :D

---

If only they had chosen a bottle containing a clear liquid. Then we would all have just assumed that Chris was very kindly helping Nikita to prepare some specimens to send to Paul. :p

---

...using vodka...

...some inadvertedly getting lost...

...somewhere...

---

... and now it must be in sewer pipes... to wait somewhere for some flies... then some russian and brits guys looks for them.... :) it is a cycle! :)

---

The main protagonists have been strangely silent; this is possibly a smart move on their part:D

---

No comment ... definitely no comment ;)

---

Besides the liquids, it would be interesting to read a report on your collecting expedition to Russia or maybe it was just a family vacation!? B)

---

Hey.. dont?forget to put more photos for the rest of 720 members. Just 2,8% put here the photos. Come on! Don't be shy. ;) We showed our photos, it is fair that we can see yours! ;)

---

wow! your home is very nice! :D eheh

It is nice to know the portraits of people that help growing diptera.info! And participate here in this great forum. ;) Let's go, put more photos!

---

On honeymoon in Spain last year. No time for flies unfortunately!

---

I would like to say "thank you" to Jorge for good idea (this post)!

---

Thank you very much for the complitments, Nikita! :) Spasiva. h1;kk9; l7;klkk4;l6;k6;k2;. But all the members that put the photo deserves "thank you" as well. :)

Tony, you will get one much more bigger lab! ;) So, don't worry. ;)

Come on, continue to put your photos. ;) Now, more women... only 2??? :S come on! :)

---

come on! I'm waiting for more photos!

---

I'm fairly new to the site but here to stay (for a long time, if it's up to me). Great site, great forum!
The least I can do is show you my face! Well....
This is me on vacation 'dans la France' in may this year with my daughter of three, Skye.

---

one of the most young amateur dipterologists, hmm... :) she is looking for flies. :)

---

this is me collecting flies in National Park Retezat.

---

glad to see you, Amalia. 3rd woman that shows the portrait. I know that there are more in diptera.info. :)

Where is cosmin? :p He is in National Park Retezat, I think..

---

Here

---

no.. crex it doesn?t show the face... just the camera and the hands. This is not a real face portrait.

---

hihihi
Jorge i'm not dipterologist not even an amateur one (yet). but who knows... maybe one day.
also now i don't have so much hair like in that photo.

also yes, i'm working in Retezat National Park as biologist. amalia is my girlfriend. i think this will answer to some possible question... hihihihi

cosmln

---

of course. no problem. ;)

that retezat national park seems to have many prairies? Am I wrong?

---

prairies? i think refer to something like pasture or meadows. if yes, yes in the retezat national park on the higher part (ussualy more than 1800m) a lot of the land is covered by pasture. partly untill at something like 2000m is present also dwarf pine (or even only) (Pinus mugo). after that altitude only rocks and grass. no real meadows in the park.

if you want to know more you can check www.retezat.ro (there is also a english version)... anyway not complet yet.

cosmln

---

Another picture of my three-year-old. She really wanted to help me collect material from behind the bark of a dead tree. She even wanted to have her own tube. Handling could be a little better. ;)

---

so cute!! :) the youngest amateur dipterologist. :)

---

Hello,



Well, the master and the little girl on a single picture, who would want more....
Thanks for sharing...

---

I just love the pic of Paul and Meike - she is such a sweetie - and so serious about diptera too :D

---

Hehe, you have not seen her yet when an insect flies around her head. Sounds like all hell breaks loose... :D

---

hey... We want more photos. ;)

---

OK, having read how Nikita's labrador helps him in his search for flies (see http://www.dipter...to_id=2286), - here's Obie, my chief mosquito attractant when we go walking in local woodland. Being a black labrador, she's much better than our other dog Molly, who is a golden colour. Obie is also older, slower and smells worse. Culicids cannot resist her charms! :p

---

:) Tony, you should buy plenty of Pedigree Petfoods! :D

I wish to know if she can attract Dryomyzidae flies.. :D lol

---

I would have to hide the bait very well - Obie has some disgusting habits! :@

---

:D
nham nham -- "tell" the Obie. :)
Obi-Wan? :o

---

Hello everybody, it's me again, my little son, and the golden Russian autumn...

---

Jorge, You are waiting for more photos!
So, here am I and my little granddaughter (photo march 2007)

Kind Regards to all

---

Maybe... a new dipterologist ? :D
Yes, there are lots of people that forget to show the photo. ;) :p
Thanks, Lema!


Dima, you have a great companion for your field visits! :D
I see a fly in your arm . :D Maybe a new species ones. :)

---

May be she will be dipterologist and my great assistant. Her brother (my grandson) is "gastropodologist":D;)

---

This is a great thread! Great to see what everyone looks like! This is my first time seeing the thread, so only now am I adding my photo. Here I am near Mapiri, Bolivia - collecting flies of course - trying to follow a few of the footsteps of Carl Schnuse!

---

Since there are also photos of some of the younger dipterists, here is a photo of me with my oldest boy, Alex, a couple of years ago headed out on a fly hunt in New Hampshire (USA). He now is more interested in protists than flies, but there's still hope! My other 2 kids love collecting with me too, but I don't have a pic with all of us in the field.

---

great! Thanks , Steven. More people here should follow your example! :D

---

greetings from an eye of a common frog !!!
Marek

---

Well, if all people are coming out and show themselves, I can't stay behind!
So, here a picture of me collecting taken by my wife Justyna on our vacation in Poland 2005!
Greetings,

---

And a second one of this year's vacation in Austria where I'm busy working on my catches, probably Sciomyzidae for Nikita! :D:D
Greetings

---

lol Marek! :)

Very beautiful landscapes, Gerard! If you didn?t tell anything about the location, I would know that the picture would never can be taken in Netherlands. :)

---

hey more photos! :)
I will upload very soon new photos taken this week. ;)

---

a more recent photo (this week) of myself and then with my .... (see the next)

---

my real true love and so sweet daughter In?s (4 years old)

---

here she is searching for flies... I think. :)

These photos were taken yesterday at late afternoon when I went with my love daughter to the field to seek for flies. We found some Vespa crabro, a Tachydromia sp..-
In Ficus carica behind it is possible to find big Vespa crabro, Ceratitis capitata, many drosophilids, ulidiids (specially P. alceae), many muscids, and lonchaeids as well. ;)

---

here the father and daughter in a catching session. :) she is trying to catch some flies... maybe the father as well. :D

---

From last month in France.

---

:)

---

Awwwww the daughter of Jorge is so cute:).

I can just imagine her shouting, like her father: " a CONOPID, a CONOPID!!!!!!!!!!!!":D:D:D

---

She is my happiness. :)

She said to someone: "this belongs to the Obsididae family!!!!" LOOOL :d She is always callING for me: "Dad! look... a spider (or a fly)" :)

---

Congratulations to Jorge for starting a thread that has had 100 replies!!!
(even if most of the replies are from Jorge! :D)

---

Only 42 with this message included (in 103), i. e. 40,8 % :). I hope this thread could duplicate to see more other photos. :)

You are welcome. :)

Tony, all people that put their photos deserve our congratulations as well. ;)
Thanks to all. Keep sending your photos.

---

I forgot to tell Dima that I think the son will follow the father. :) Catching those fabulous flies. ;)
Very early autumn over there. ;)

---

Nice photos Jorge.
Ficus trees are indeed very good places to see very diferent species of Diptera. I observed a Ficus trees in Ericeira, that had literally lots and lots of different flies. A very nice thing to see.:)

---

thanks, Gon?alo!

Still... there are lots of members waiting eagerly to put their photo here. :)
Come on, update this thread! ;) Thanks for your kindness. :) (not irony! I must say this because in the net it is easy to misinterpret.)

---

Deepest point of my life...

---

Picture taken today.

---

oh... only (-) 85,5 m? :P

---

Ok I was lying.... My lowest point was 400m at the Dead Sea... but this is as low as you can get here in the US.... and not many flies around there...;)

---

I wish to visit that salty desert. :)

---

I deleted my post and put it there. I am really stupid today ( the other days too :D )

finally I decide to put my head here and Jorge don't say I am a typical french woman. I come from Slovakia:p
Edith

---

Glad to see you Niek! That place looks awesome!

Edith, welcome! The fourth brave woman to show the portrait. :D
Susan, Natalia, Amalia, and now Edith. Who will be the next? :)

---

Edith

Nice to see your face.

---

Jorge had say truth. It is more pleasant to speak with people when you know their face ;) and their language :D

---

hello
two faces of little amateur dipterologists. my little son Samuel (13 months old) and me. photo taken this afternoon on the north coast of Brittany (40 kms from Brest) in France by my wife V?ronique. :)
jean-claude

---

so many flies in background on dry algae. :D

Welcome both. :)

---

Nice to meet you Jic? and welcome. (Je vais me sentir moi seule dans la baragouinage :D)
Little Samuel is very nice.
The dipterist changing is assured

---

Once again, more photos, please. :)

---

I really did not intend to jump the queue, as I am a rather new member of the Diptera community, and there are still several leading experts whose portraits are missing, but - to overcome the stagnation, here is a picture showing me and my good old pal Tachie.
Best regards to the whole team whom I consider real friends, too,
Claudia aka Sundew

---

Impressive!

---

This is excellent! :D

---

:D:D:D the eagle fly! :D Well done!! Thanks, Claudia.

More women.. please, show here yourselves!

---

Well Jorge, because you're so female biased... Here I'm trying to make my daughters enthousiastic.

---

great to see in action two very interesting girls on flies! :) larvae? :D ehe

Thanks for share.

---

I'm waiting for new photos. :)

---

Hello Diptera.info community. I am trying to learn how to do all this "techno" stuff. I don't know how to put pictures and things yet.:o
(Any help in this would be greatly appreciated)
But I can introduce myself anyway;
My name is Wayne, I go by "flydude". (It's what they call me at work)
I live here in St. Louis, MO, U.S.A., am a security officer and a pastor of a church my wife and I started here. I have been intrested in insects, specificly flies, sence I was knee high to an asilidae.
My main focus is of study is "what is the impact of flies pollination on the eco-system" and "Forensic Entomology"
So without being too long...
God Bless

P.S. If some one could tell me how to "up load" stuff I can put my picture here for ya'll.

---

For posting an image you can use the attachment feature. You can see that if you click the Post reply button after the last post or at the top of the page (left of the New thread button). Just make certain the image is not too big and that the file name does not contain any spaces. You can check the FAQ for more details.

---

Merry Christmas and a very good year for all of you!
Amalia

---

:)

PLEASE, keep sending your photos! :)

---

I have no new portraits to share, but I do have something else that may amuse you for a few moments. I have decided to publish one photograph taken by me each day during the next year, starting from Christmas eve 2007.

The first four pictures have already been uploaded to my Flickr page. None of the photos taken so far is a self-portrait. I'll keep that in store for the bad days ;). But at least you will get some idea of who, where -- and perhaps why -- I am.

Edit: For the record, I am not a very skilled photographer, nor am I an artist of any kind :p So don't except to find much artistic value here. I'm creating this 365* set mostly for fun.

* As year 2008 is a leap-year, I can rest for one day :p

---

Great idea, Kahis! :)
But - I hope not! - if you brake the leg or the arm it will not easy to keep every day photos (ok, you could take photos to your leg :P). :)
I know it is not an easy task.

It is not photography but once time I tried to build a physical analemma and I didn't complete... :( But one day! :) And it doesn't need to be all 365 days! :) Have you tried it? ;)

Your niece is nice! :D You should take a photo when she will realize how can open the little "gate" :)

---

Hello,



Fine idea and good start.

---

so quiet here...

---

Nothing to do - I must open my face before respected colleagues. Here you are.

My family, Elena and Severin will appear as soon as register here themselves.

---

I think you are the first person showing the portrait without telling the real name.. :) I'm going try to tell your REAL name: Valery Korneyev... hmm... And i think the number 52 will be important for you in the next year. :D

Aha... and Nosferatumyia is a tephritid fly... hence your interest on Tephritoidea. :D And expertise as well. :D

---

here is me with two friends after a hard and hot day in June 2007:)

---

You don't look tired! :D

---

That's due to the liquid inside the cup, it makes people happier:D

---

But... Rui... she doesn't drink beer! :o
Can you imagine??? :D

---

and always... cosmin is hidden... now by the arm of Amalia...:S

---

he is not cosmin..is a friend of us, a "spider-man":D - Calin:D

---

:)
Even if the hair is longer ... I'm not there.
I have not been in that field trip :D

I'm not hiding... just working (in the avatar) ;)

cosmln

Hi, this candid shot explains the fuzzy photos (posted elsewhere). It was alright when I was taking big things that didn't move (like plants) but since I have become interested in smaller and smaller invertebrates, it's reaching the limits of resolution. I'm looking at maybe the Panasonic Lumix 18xzoom with a raynox magnifier next. The Olympus mju is fun though, very handy to have in pocket when out walking, in case of spying a wee beastie.

---

yeah... working... and... hiding. :P

---

welcome Robert Whyte. Take a look on Nikon Coolpix (they are great for macro). Or try a DSLR camera.

---

Thanks Jorge, I had a Nikon coolpix 990 once - great camera, recently died, and I have a DSLR, EOS 300D and use of a EOS 400D with 100mm macro- i was thinking of the pana 18x for the ability to switch rapidly from super macro to far away bird shots. Heard good things about them. I have a tamron 18-200 it's a nice, versatile but slow lens. I hear the ranox magnifiers allow you to be a bit further away from subject.

---

Raynox lenses are good for bridge cameras (I think that they don't fit for dslr cameras, but not sure here). Canon 400D is a good camera, Canon 40 D much better. :) But mainly very good lenses are much more important than the cameras itself. Tamron 90 mm is a very good macro lens - try to seek for this lens.

---

Hi Robert,
That's nice to read. Well, not that it died... I have one too, but it's terrible on the batteries, can say it doesn't work on those anymore, just sucks them empty or anything, kaputt! So only for use with cable, so not very handy :(

---

Almost one year passed and there are 36 amateurs/professional dipterologists' photos more 12 photos from childrens/babies that one day will turn dipterologists.... :)

We have 892 members in 1st March 2008 (of course, there are not really that number... a bit less, but let's go assume that 892). SO, 856 photos to complete the thread. :D

To update this thread I will show my photo taken in last month. To refresh it. :D

---

Collecting in an old Ox-bow lake in Latvia a couple of years ago.



Matt

---

Cool T-shirt :D

---

He's on your side. :D LOL

Great entomological net, though. :D
Did you catch anything special over there? B)

---

Dear Jorge,

Quote:"Almost one year passed and there are 36 amateurs/professional dipterologists' photos more 12 photos from childrens/babies that one day will turn dipterologists.... " Unquote.

Since I've given up hope that my children will ever show much interest in anything small that crawls or flies, I attach herewith some pictures of my grandchildren......

Herewith two granddaughters and one grandson:

---

And herewith another grandson.
Best regards, Niek

---

Well that was an interesting waste of an hour, and even then all the pics didn't load. I am not really a dipterists, more a secretary and general technician these days but here is a photo for all the people helping with Project Kerkini. You can see it's so up to date the Paliuris spini-christi have no leaves.

---

2 March 2008, southern New Brunswick, Canada.
Maybe some flies by mid-May.
So how do you spend 4 months each year:(

---

Hehe - those Candians think of everything ... a lawn-mower that cuts snow too ;)

---

I think you are just jealous... :P

---

Man, I wish we had that much snow. A heavy shower on Monday left a 10cm (4" ) layer - the most we have seen this winter :o No winter or a real one please, not hanging between seasons for six months ... but that's what the current climate change models predict for Finland :(

---

Come to Serra da Estrela :D . You surely will find much more snow there. :D B)

---

I am glad we don't have any snow here at all, and I would leave if we ever had that much, but then I'll probably leave anyway. Kahis, was the bird watching better than usual in Finalnd this year because of the mild winter, we normally get one or two groups of Finnish birders down to the lake in Winter, but this year we had none.

---

I've heard that the Latest climate change models indicate a mild mediterean climate for Suomi in less than 30 years! This might be the most extreme prediction but it seems Finland is the place to be in the year 2038!

Stay where you are Kahis!:D

---

and here the weather is becoming colder and colder :( and very rainy. :( (there were some days like spring but it was short duration. :( )

---

There's a catch in this plan: the weather may get warmer, but the days won't get any longer. And much of the predicted warming comes from increasing cloud cover (less radiative loss into space), which means even less sun.

So, welcome to the Finland in 2038, if you love 18-hour cloudy nigths and endless rain at +2C :|

For the record, this winter was the warmest since year 1900 (older records aren't accurate enough) by quite a margin. The south coast never got officially into winter, we passed directly from fall to spring...

---

Actually, it's a snow-blower that cuts grass:D
One advantage (:() of a snowy winter is that it lessens the pain of spending thousands of $$ to go to the Bahamas for a week. Got home yesterday, snowing again today. As of March 10 my local area has had 320cm of snow. Perhaps any snow lovers should consider living in Maritime Canada, snowy winters, hot summers.

---

come on, more photos!! show us, yourself! :)

---

Hehe, pervert. :P

---

Me and Matt teaching at the Dipterist's Forum Tachinid Fly Identification workshop :) It was a really well-attended and well-received event and was as fun for us as it was for the attendees, I think! :D

( photo courtesy of Judy Webb )

---

the problem: there are no flies??? :o :P That red/grey box is really a lunchbox :P
and for the final: SAINSBURY is a store where you can "Buy groceries online, get great deals on food, wine and financial products, buy flowers and gifts, (find your nearest store), share food ideas and recipe" :D LOL

---

There is a fly under my microscope and a box of them next to Matt (Nikita might even recognise the box ;)). The Sainsbury's box is how I carry around all the books/keys and equipment I might need - and the red box is Matt's mounting/pinning gear :)

---

Jorge,
I was there and there were probably THOUSANDS of fly specimens there as well. This was an excellent and thoroughly enjoyable workshop. Thanks to Matt & Chris for guiding us through the Tachinids. :D

---

Thousands? :P or hundreds? :P

any chance to see more photos of other members ? :D

---

up. :D

---

update... :P today.



come on. we are curious about seeing other portraits. I'm saturated of mine. :D

---

OK, here is mine. But not shooting any critter I'm afraid...

Joaquim Gaspar
at Porto Covo, Portugal

---

finally a Portuguese! :D
still two to go. :D

---

Dima and Goat. Sochi region. Goat came to disturb Black's photographing on insect. Nice meeting, doesn't it?

---

:D
that is nothing. :P (joking ;)) You should experiment when a horse push you to the margin of a river... as it happens to me - I was trying to find Hippoboscidae, Oestridae, and Hipodermatidae. The horse was being agressive, because I was ocupping its territory.

It would be funny to see Dima measuring strength with the head of the goat. :D
The goats are aggressive only in mating season, I think.

---

My money's on the goat - he looks confident, and Dima's stick looks rotten, and he's on the back foot :D

Jorge - you need to take Horse Whispering lessons :p

---

LOL , Susan.

I decided to take it easy... and it worked well. Any sudden movement and it could attack. The horse put him mouth on the feet of a friend of mine! :| But fortunately, there was no damage. And then licked totally the bag of my friend! :D

---

Great photo of Dima and his new found friend ... the goat looks friendly - maybe he wanted Dima to throw the stick? Maybe it was a retriever goat? :D

---

Hello,



I see that nobody dared to tell the joke...
Here is my question: which one on which side?

---

I like 'to be' inside nature ;)

foto was made by my brother Marcel, 05-2002
Greece: near the (mountain) Olympic

---

aha! more one- :) Did you find any flies inside? :D

-- I would like to see a photo named: Nikita and the bear. :D

---

I decided to post a fresh picture - working at home, late May 2008 (with a Callomyia amoena almost sitting on my shoulder ;)).

---

Russian wallpaper really has a style of its own :D
Good to see another 2-computer man :)

---

Who are these dipterists and why is there a statue of a weeping woman behind them?


And Chris...I think you will find that French wallpaper could give the Russian stuff a run for its money :D

---

I really don't know what Jorge's problem with horses in the field is :p These Konik Polskis (Polish Ponies) were utterly charming, took a great interest in our work and produced a good quantity of useful substrate which was proving madly attractive to Scarabaeidae, Staphylinidae, Calliphoridae, Muscidae, Sepsidae and a few Scathophagidae, as well as some others I haven't had time to ID yet.

---

Black, that Callomyia is gorgeous.:p

---

A wallpaper with flies would be much nicer. :)

Susan, horses are imprevisible, even those are trained. the horse seems very interested in your green bag! :D

---

so many new members! :o and I hope you post your photo here. ;)
come on!

---

I have a wallpaper with dragonflies on it in my flat. Close enough :D

---

I got pretty close to a bear a week ago. It was my first - and probably last - close run with this awesome beast. I never saw the bear (this being in a dense old-growth forest a few kilometers from the Russian border), but I could smell the presence of a large mammal and saw very fresh tracks.

---

a wallpaper with dragonflies... never heard such thing.. until now. :D

errr... a bear near... did you take a bunch of female simuliids? :D:D better would be a bunch of mutillid females. :):D

---

ask someone to take the photo: Brave Kahis and the bear. :D


ps it doesn't count the zoo. :P lol

---

Over one year passed and there are 41 amateurs/professional dipterologists' photos more 14 photos from childrens/babies that one day will turn dipterologists.... :)

We have 985 members in 3th July 2008 (of course, there are not really that number... a bit less, but let's go assume that number), therefore it lacks 944 photos to complete the thread. :) Come on, join us. :)

---

And now only 943 missing ! This is me with a shirt of my favorite football team. Picture from today in my garden.

Jari

---

I don't know that team! lol

yes, still 943 to go!!! it is nearly finishing. :D

---

Here's another one of me, this time in Ilomantsi (93 N lat, 31 E long).

This perticular old-growth forest is the home of Xylomya czekanowskii, Xylophagus kowarzi, Lejota ruficornis and many other lovely flies. The weather was rather cool and it was easy to catch the smaller flies directly from the tree trunks with a pooter.

---

where? :D You are hidden. lol

---

The Invisible Man.
That's how he could creep up to the flies.

---

lol. :D yeah, agree totally. The dream of a dipterologist is being invisible!!! :DB)


And the dream of knowing the "93 ?N" latitude :D jk. :P

I know you want say 63?N :p It happens.

---

Let's try again, this time with the invisibility cape off.

Reaching 93 deg. N lat isn't easy but it is certainly worth the effort. PM me if you want to know how to do it.... :p

---

:D:D the most funny photo ever in diptera.info :P

it lacks many moss to eat. :D

---

Errr, what? :)

---

it was a joke, Kahis... I will rewrite the sentence: it looks like you're eating moss, but you've still got a lot more to eat :) got it? ;)

---

There is no such thing as 93 ?N for latitude, BUT there is a cartographic course that can be 93 ?N :D. Measuring since from North through the compass, we can determine the course of 93? :)

---

:) lol eheh

Well, we are waiting for more photos. :)

---

Hello ....
I'm Joke van Erkelens (from the Netherlands)
For my work, I'm a manager in healdcare, but I am rather angaged whit my fly's..:D
My interest is Muscidae (but only just started, becourse I resently get a key from Nikita of Muscidae.....which thanks again)

Greatings Joke

---

Nice asteiid avatar, by the way.

---

nice to see the 5th woman showing the photo! :)

---

more photos, please. :)

---

Hi, this photo is a few years old but the place was so beautiful. It's taken near a town named Ovindoli in central Italy. Please go there if You ever visit Italy :)

wonderful:)

---

ahaha :) very funny photo!

---

and my beauty In?s in Pulo do Lobo this week trying catching flies. Maybe the W. bella. :D (where I found 3 specimens).

---

18viii08, Bay of Fundy (Atlantic Ocean), NB, Canada.

Heading out into a saltmarsh in search of tabanids & flies; my better side.

The rubber boots a good idea, the bare knees, short-sleeved shirt and no hat, not quite so smart.

---

Ha ha ha..:D:D

Did you survive it al....or did you receive sichness benefit for a weak ?

Greatings Joke

---

i'm there in the net ;)
one of the things collected there is this: www.diptera.info/...d_id=15036
yes i know hidding.

up in Retezat, photo made by one of the park rangers

cosmln

---

finally, cosmin shows himself... even inside a lycra... ihihhi


Tony - such a great place that saltmarsh! :)

---

So many new members but no new photos :( Henry and others, this is good place to say hello :)

Jari

---

Okay Jari here I got two flies at the time, I meen me and and my desk. I don't collect so you can see sample diptera photo and camera equipment in use (testing setup). Points if someone recognizes the common diptera in the photo. Finnish dipterist are not allowed to answer, they might know the photo.

---

thanks Henry.

I'm with Jari. Come on! New members put here your photos.
Thanks. ;)

---

Well, that's me and my faithful (if clumsy) helper Zymba (an Airedale terrier, in case you wonder). She sure tries hard to get the flies, but hardly ever succeeds and, when she does, eats them:
I, on the other hand, only take pictures and neither collect nor eat them...
The setting is the vineyards around Banyuls in the Pyrenees orientales.
Cheers
Philippe

---

Hi, should we take a other round to encourage new members ? Come on ! Follow the fine example of Henry and Philippe :D

Jari

---

I second Jarif! Come on. Let's go. :P

---

Ok, my photo = avatar! Enough Jorge? ;)

---

Hi,

I read this forum almost every day, but I don't post much things. Have allready learned much here :) I live in Belgium, Ostend. I study biology in Ghent.

I just got 20 last month. (4october ;))

Mainly I focus on Syrphidae, but I also like Tephritidae and Stratiomydae a lot :)
Besides diptera I like Birds, Orthoptera, Lepidoptera and some Heteroptera...

Yeah, that's it I think :)

I'm the person on the right.


bye, Jonas

---

Hi all,
I'm almost completely new to this site (been lurking a while though), but I have already learnt a lot from you all. Hopefully I will be able to contribute something.

My name is Lars and I'm from Sweden. I live in a town called Helsingborg on the west coast (only 4km away from Denmark).

At the moment I don't have any photo of myself as I'm usually behind the camera, but I can show you at least a small part of myself :) Well, a part of my shorts when they were visted by a Myiathropa florea.

---

Do I see a glimpse of you, reflecting in his eyes? :D

---

Hi! I am T. Nakamura "Dhalma" from Nikko, Japan.
I work for a Museum here. The special interest is in Craneflies (Tipuloidea, Trichoceridae, Tanyderidae, Ptychopteridae) and some Nematoceras (Such as Dixidae, Anisopodidae, Nymphomyiidae.....).
I see some people from the Netherlands in this site.
As I stayed at ZMA (Amsterdam) for about 4 months two years ago, I might have seen some of you already.

This is Me with my dog.

---

Great to see new photos :D So many old members are still missing !!! And of course most of the new ones too :(

Jari

---

Hi.
Yes, I want to see members' faces, too. :D

---

I guess I would fall in the photo-dipterologist section.
So, completly halfassed.

Cheers,

Guillermo

---

Hehe, hot shot!

---

Greetings to everyone,
now I upload a photo of myself, taken in Greece this Summer :) My full name is Walter Pfliegler, live in Hungary, Miskolc, and study molecular biology at the University in Debrecen. So animal photography, flies and and insects are hobby for me, not profession (at the Uni I work with Saccharomyces - much easier to handle than flies :) )
Most of my time I spend with taking photos of animals, plants, fungi, protozoans (with microscope), etc., and trying to determine them.
I use a Pentax K10d with a 70-300 Sigma, but for insects I'm using some old-shool Zenit and Pentacon lenses reversed.

---

Hi Walter, great to see new photos ;) People seems to be very shy or just lazy to send pictures of themselves.

Jari

---

great to see new photos. As the Christmas is approaching the new members can show their photos. :)
Guillermo, next year I will visit Spain. ;)

---

I don't do self portraits, but this one I took in 2006 in the Control Tower at Scatsta Airport at 0300hrs in summer. Look pretty much the same today..hair is a bit longer...beard a fair bit longer. Taken soon after I got my first Digital Camera..some Vivitar thing.
Reflection in the window.

---

Here's another one of me,
wishing you all a fulfilling and complete 2009!

Cheers!

---

and I hope you come back here! :D To the caves seeing again the Nycteribiidae :P

---

come on! more photos. ;)

---

Chen Young, born and raised in Taiwan, studied flies in Kansas, inspired by George Byers, encouraged by Charles Alexander, and found a niche in Pennsylvania.

No children no pets to share. Here collecting in Scotland with partner Adam, with his companionship and moral support, I run wild pursuing my passion in crane flies.

Enjoy to see and to be seen here at Diptera.info

Happy Chinese New Year to you all!

---

My mistake, a larger version......

---

thanks! Your larvae sketches of tipulids are just awesome! And congrats for the spectacular site on tipulids.

well, let's go wait for more participants photos! :D

---

My sister sent me this photo on the weekend of me aged 14 :o

---

big LOL :d
you seems annoyed with something! :D

---

She is annoyed because she has been told to pose under a rock when she could be out catching insects! :D

---

yeah Chris! :)
and in that time.. I'm sure that diptera were much more diverse than nowadays! :p

---

I think Chris is probably exactly right :), and anyway, I believe that is the standard facial expression assumed by 14 year olds even today when having their photo taken:|

And you, young Mota Almeida, should show a bit more respect, since I am old enough to be your mother :P

---

Jorge has a MOTHER:o

---

What Susan didn't say was where it was taken; here is one of me in the same place; down the road and with my grandson. There is hope; his mother did a school project on Trichopthalma.

---

That's funny.
Two different persons pictured on the same spot, at different times of the year.

---

And a number of years; that is for Susan to say.:)

---

The insect population of Girraween NP, Queensland, Australia, has clearly been harassed by Diptera.info members for over 30 years :o

---

It's been a while since this thread had a new photo and I just found this old self-portrait of me admiring a huge tree in French Guiana in 2000. Hope you like it :)

---

Well that forest looks indeed interesting if You compare what we have up here :( This photo is from last weekend.

Jari

---

It's just different ... I actually find net-collecting easier in Europe because more insects are found at ground level. In the tropics species-diversity is very high but there are less flowers at ground level to attract insects, which means you have to run traps. But of course, you can collect all year in the tropics ;)

I would love to go back - there's nothing like being in primary rainforest :D

---

Here I'm sitting at my fly-table, whit al sorts of things to attract flies...
And smoke a sigaret while waiting....(and yes I know....bat habit :D)

Joke van Erkelens:)

---

and another photo...looking a little angry because of the sun in my face...:)

Joke

---

Sorry to hear you have a Bat habit Joke, any particular species, not one of the rarer ones I hope :) Still on the up-side, you will get plenty of opportunities to get photo's of Nycteribiidae. Jorge also has this affliction.
In the other photo what is that in your left hand?

Hi hi...no, not the ones, that i can't see the differents anymore between a Hydrotaea and Calliphora vicina..:D

Only a Canon 450D whit Sigma 105 lens+extention tubes+Sigma EM 140 Ring Flash....nothing more..


It's coming up.......:P

Joke (van Erkelens)....;)

Hello Fly People....As you can see from the attached photo People Can't Fly.
Somehow managed to fall backwards off scaffolding after re-slating the roof of my house. Fell about 3.5 Metres and bust the back of my head (90mm cut), whip-lash to my neck and severe bruising to lower back...nothing broken though....severe embarrassment is the main feeling I have. Was in the construction business off and on for 25 years working on and erecting scaffold up to 300ft high, only to fall off one in my own back yard...the shame :|. Am just about scuttling around the garden again and will hopefully be sending in more photo's soon.

Looking at the photo you would have thought that they would have tucked my beard inside the neckbrace..some people have no dress style.
No sympathy sought with this image, but amusing comments are welcome...not too funny though as it hurts when I laugh.
Regards Roger

---

OUCH! How long ago was that?

---

OUCH Indeed...that was on Thursday 4th June...Last week.
Ambulance...blue flashing lights ..the full monty :D.

Was out taking photo's again yesterday...so I'm getting there.
Regards painfully....Roger

---

Crikey Roger, you are a) very unlucky and b) very lucky! That looks very life threatening. Hope you make a swift recovery.

---

Cheers Nigel
Luckily I landed on a gravel path..large rock about 1ft away from my head...but it looks a lot worse than it felt at the time, bit sore in the ambulance (half hour trip), tho' She Who Must Be Obeyed got a bit of a fright..I'm being well pampered :). Was out in the street having a smoke at 8am Friday, in the rain, checked out Friday afternoon. Leave Hospitals for people who are ill...Much better today.
Regards Roger

---

Roger : [thinks] "I must get some new headphones for my Walkman ... then I could listen when I'm standing up ! "
(Take it easy you old sod - and find someone younger to fall off your scaffolding next time!)

---

Cheers Tony...zonked out on pain-killers most of yesterday..day away from Laptop. Few photo's in the garden...nice warm day.

What is this "Walkman" thing you talk of...some kind of new invention in Norfolk...get one free with each purchase of a tractor? The County must be awash with them. The neckbrace does look like the old Jecklin Float Headphones, which looked terrible, but sounded brilliant.

I was taking it easy..probably why I fell...I'll be up a three stage ladder painting the new woodwork next year when it has weathered a bit, so I better write out a Will before that expedition. Regards Roger....

---

Did you get distracted by the ladybirds Roger??? :P

Hope you will recover quickly!
But don't smoke too much outside in the rain.... :o

Greetzz, André!

---

Thanks Andre
Back to normal (whatever that is), although still a bit painful getting out of the car after driving.
Yes standing out bare-footed with only denims on in the rain was a bit much....but that's just me I suppose.
Maybe get some of my Syrphids ID'd now...there are a few in the forum without replies..:|.it would be appreciated.
Regards Roger....No Ladybirds in Mossbank :P

---

I think Roger was seeing other "ladies" :D roftl.
Looking at that photo, really hurts! :|
Fortunately, All's Well That Ends Well. :) Hopefully the recovery at this time is total and you can dance Hakken, Reel... or even Flamenco!
:D

---

Thanks for that Jorge
1. I think She Who Must Be Obeyed would inflict much more pain than falling off scaffolding if that was the case...Happily married for 34 years.
2. It did.
3. What's a Hakken Reel...Hens March ower da Midden is the only way to "Get Down"....Bit of Paco DeLucia or Ricardo Garcia Y La Familia Flamenco is OK or even Ojos De Brujo with a few glasses of Plonk.
Regards Roger

---

1. congratulations! You are the slave . :D
2. Note: don't go to the roof. :) Unless you want fly like a... dipter (without wings, of course). :D
3. Dutch dance! :) wikit!

---

come on, dipterologists (amateur and professional) or just curious... send us your photos! ;)

---

Once again... please post your photos here. It lacks so many people. Don't be shy. ;)

---

Maybe we should take a new round to activate new members :) Here I am setting one of my malaise traps in early June. It has been very succesful one with a lot of nice species. The place is an old sandpit near Loviisa in Finland.

Jari

---

you waited that Pinus grew up. :D
How many malaise traps you have?

---

This summer I use six traps. More than previous years and maybe too many. Really lot of work with all that pinning and labeling. No time for ID during the summer but nice winter coming with full boxes of interesting flies :D

Jari

---

six!!! :| wow!
Hopefully this week I will mount mine malaise trap. :)

---

Wow - love those malaise traps - especially the ones in the open, flowery (tachinid-friendly) areas :D Perhaps you should start a new thread where people can put their photos of their Malaise traps? :D You can swap tips on how best to site them.

Interesting orientation in some of those photos - I was always taught to site them at 90-degrees to an edge or flight-line with the high end pointing towards the light but some of those photos look like they are placed in-line with the forest edge. Is it an optical illusion or do you have better success that way?

---

Well I'm far from expert with these. I have a very simple method how to put the trap. I just watch some days how the flies are flying and put the malaise there. The high end allways to south and that's it :) The two malaise at top are good for Asilidae and Syrphidae for exsample. From the middle ones I got Lauxaniidae, Empididae etc. (And Odiniidae !) The lower left corner is the Tachinidae trap :)

Jari

P.S. Maybe a trapping thread would be interesting :) With Google Earth links too:D

---

There is a thread "Fly Traps" in the "Distribution Queries" Forum

HERE

---

Here I am on the roadside waiting for the Tour de France. The caravane had come through and we were waiting for the cyclists themselves, so I took the opportunity to photograph the flies on the Wild Carrot nearby.

---

So is that a beer trap next to you ?

---

Indeed. It's a particularly fine example, and was imported to Europe many years ago from Australia. I believe you have experience of the exceptionally good beer traps available in Australia, so I've got no need to go into detail about how to position it for best effect.

---

Mmm... beer... always store in a warm, dark place :D

---

nice photo, Susan!!! :)

---

My daughter Inês sweeping.... :)

---

this photo was taken yesterday.
Here she is checking... (almost) lol :D

---

now... the Indiana "Jorge" and the Raider(s) of the Lost FLY :D lol

---

Having a problem with LUMBAGO Jorge ? :|
Or been Strip-searched going through Customs :D.

EDIT; Handy Tip...While wearing this piece of head attire DO NOT whistle or sing "I Will Survive" as you pass the local YMCA.

---

Roger... tsk tsk... I'm the plastic man!!! You will know the fury TO punish you for sayin' such things! :D Blasfemies!!

See!!! Be afraid!!! I have much more strength than any anaconda!


YMCA.. pff...

---

I was trying to find the 10 differences, but.........

couldn't find any :D

---

put your glasses and try again.... :P

---

The wire fence in the background is smaller; that's one.

---

Plastic Man Huh....you better watch yourself if you are complaining about 38 Deg. Centigrade...could melt, or maybe you have.
Yes I'd be afraid to be down-wind going by your posture..:D .appear to have had some kind of an "accident in the trouser department" (Not my normal choice of words, but my Laptop doesn't have Translating Subtitles).
YMCA..pff....is that a typo...or are your lower case vowels not working?

---

(Roger, don't be angry... but it is incorrect to say degree centigrade. This is used for angle units (don't worry, you are not alone - there are many people that use this when they express temperatures but it is not correct.) For temperature units, we have ºC - Celsius degrees, ºF - Fahrenheit degrees, for absolute temperature the SI unit is K - kelvin... and there are much more. ;) I like to use the correct nomenclature and when I see anyone using the wrong ones I try politely to fix it. Yes, I'm a little pedantic. :D lol)

Concerning the temperatures... you must know that, for example, one type of the plastic - the famous PVC - the crap name "Polyvinylchloride" has a melting point around 80 ºC... ;) The plastic man has a very special type of plastic that even he can approach the cromosphere of the SUN without melting. :D LOL

ah... and my keyboard is fine. :D

Well... I wait for more portrait photos!!! :D





Post Scriptum: If you have some curiosity on this subject, you can see here the resolution by The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (Bureau international des poids et mesures in French) which is an international standards organization, one of three such organizations established to maintain the International System of Units (SI).
They shared a pdf file here: http://www.bipm.o...e_8_en.pdf where in page 53 we can read:
"the Adoption of “degree Celsius” [CIPM, 1948 (PV, 21, 88) and 9th CGPM, 1948 (CR, 64)] From three names (“degree centigrade”, “centesimal degree”, “degree Celsius”) proposed to denote the degree of temperature, the CIPM has chosen “degree Celsius” (PV, 21, 88).
This name is also adopted by the 9th CGPM (CR, 64)."

---

Not today from me ...I look even more like Sh*t today...and feel worse :|

---

Told you I felt like Sh*t....Can't even make a proper posting....read between your lines...It's in there somewhere...I'm going to bed.

Rog....er

---

Relax. :) Come to Portugal!!! Enjoy our food, our climate - the 40 ºC :D, our beer, our Porto wine.. you will love it!

---

Haven't been there since I got very drunk on a school trip in the 1960's....somewhere in Lisbon..age 14 I think...:|.

---

Hi Jorge
Just read the PS to your Post #301 and have decided to carry a gun with me at all times...just in case I should ever have the misfortune to be stuck in a lift with you....:|...Relax though, as should that ever come to pass....I will shoot myself..:D..should I fail to kill myself, please finish me off...

Yours Armed and Ready
Roger

---

:D
You can relax. I will have pleasure to kill you without any pain. I know a way (really I know many)... better not to say which... :)

Now, rest well. ;)

---

I was visiting Kahis today and he very kindly helped me again with the determination. This time with some Therevidae. And with a wide smile in my face I took a ride back home with several nice new Tephritidae for my collection :D So here he is at work.

Jari

---

you really lose some weight, Kahis.

Well, I'm curious about your loupe... Russian brand?

---

Nice pic, Jari :D

---

Chinese. The brand label is mostly in chinese, the model name is XTZ-D.

---

thanks Kahis! :)

---

Muscaranensis s.i. (species inquirenda) very rare and crazy... LOL

For the curious, the book is "EVOLUTION OF THE INSECTS". It is always a pleasure to see at my side my lover Cephalodromia nitens. :) At your left you can see the antennae of a new tachinid I saw today. And at the right, of course, you can see a sheet that contains electromagnetism formulas (about 100) which I'm very fond. Yes, all of this proves that I'm crazy. :D

Well, now it is your turn to show yourselves. ;)




This photo was taken in 2009.VIII.16 at 1 h 30 min 30 s 30 ms 30 fs (UTC hour +1) lol

---

thanks Kahis for the answer! ;)

---

Jeez...Kahis, where has the rest of you gone????
Should be able to out-run a Moose now.

That Ossie Ardiles has let himself go....Appears to be interested in Flies and Electromagnetism Formulas...been heading the football too much....

---

:) no... been heading the calculus too much :D eheh

---

Amazing, eh, what a little photoshopping can do? :D

---

A LOT of Photoshopping....Don't think my Erase Tool could cope. Did he have his hat surgically removed. Or maybe careful use of the Clone Tool.
That must have been a delicate operation.

---

A few shots of me in Dorset when I went to see my family recently and do some entomology:

First two are me in Hook photographing an Arctophila superbiens and desperately trying to find *any* tachinids at all:



and a photo of my dad watching-on as I box a fly to show him :)

---

Another of me searching for Villeneuvia on the beach...

---

Chris, that's a very nice place.
Stéphane, you really looks like my brother. coincidences...

---

More babbling than portraits over here, hahaha.

Well, just a little pic of me, wearing an extremely :P expensive suit, which is hanging unemployed in my closet, since I am out of a job... :@

---

...and I in hottest diptera.info thread :)

---

Well, to keep the tradition going I'll also introduce a member of the next generation of entomologists.
This is me and my daughter Amalia Lynn, born at the 9th of october 2009, and as you can see she starts already with studying the insects on daddy's T-shirt!
Greetings

---

Well done, Gerard!

Congratulations Gerard ! :):):)
