what are these odd little flies with large antennae, they mill about together on leaves and square up to each other. I thought they looked like a very small Anthomyiids but I can find no gallery images that fit those proportions.

about 5mm in overall length

Found in September at Hailes Abbey Fruit farm in Gloucestershire

They look more like Limnophora (Muscidae) to me.

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
