 Yes Simulidae, Very interesting though as I got a very similar looking Simulid in my greenhouse yesterday also, in Ireland!

 I think Simulium. In my area the common early spring species are in Prosimulium and Simulium is more common in late spring and summer.

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
