 I think this distinctive fly has to be O. flavissima, but can anyone confirm my ID? It was very hard to get close to this very wary fly, so image quality is so-so, but hope it's good enough for ID confirmation.

31.5.11 c 8mm Lesbos, Greece, feeding on mint flowers in an olive grove.

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
