 Hello,

yesterday I found this midge on our compost box in Hannover, Germany. Is it a Sciara sp. or is it possible to be more precise?

Thank you for answers!

Hans

 Sciaridae okay, but I would not think this to be Sciara but I really know little about them.

 Thank you very much, Paul!

Kai Heller just told me that it might be Trichosia or Leptosciarella. It is not possible to id by photo.

Best regards, Hans

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
