Hi


I would like to hear which are the favourites SPECIES of yours! It could be for aesthetic reasons or something very peculiar on biology/ecology of the fly, or for some other special reason. You can choose 10 favourites (it is not obligatory to fill 10 species. It can be more or less!). I choose 15 flies so far (2007.09.05)

I begin... and I will update when I will know some more new species. I will attach links for photos of the species. You can choose other flies besides Palearctic ones. ;)

(no special order below. All are in the same level.)

It is extremely hard to make choices of the most interesting/awesome dipters... :) I'm almost sure that no one will choose Hippboscidae. :)


There are much more... I will update more later (the updates will be between the asterik **)
