In one of my previous posts, Nikita IDed a fly as Bellardia sp. This one is similar, yet different where the devil is. It has red eyes, and a more briliantly coloured abdomen with green and blue. Is this Belladia too? Can it be IDed at species level?

Dutch dunes, last sunday. Moderate size, 8 - 10 mm. Close to a canal. I guess the plant is Hemlock, but I didn't have the guts to taste it...

Dr Jason H Byrd, a forensic entomologist, preliminary agrees with the ID Protocalliphora azurea. He will confirm/correct later when he's certain. He expects the photo's suffice to ID this fly.

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
