 Gymnochaeta viridis (Tachinidae), I think.

 Agreed. No Lucilia has hairy eyes and a bare arista - sure sign of a Tachinid if it's metallic green.

 I wonder what G. zhelochovtsevi and G. magna looks like. Are they also green and metallic?

 Thanks Rui! I assume then that all are the shiny metallic type ... All three Gymnocheta species are mentioned in the Swedish Report System, but G. zhelochovtsevi status is unsure.

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
