Found in Las Matas, Madrid, on 08.04.2014 feeding on Thapsia sp. in area with abundant Cistus. Very peculiar head shape. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help! Smile

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
