Does anyone have any information regarding the eggs and oviposition in Astomella hispaniae? A few days ago I collected a female and she started ovipositing. The eggs are very interesting and have a membrane around them that is very fragile and breaks relatively easy when touched. I made a small (and very shaky...) video of the oviposition. Does the membrane enable the egg to disperse more easily?

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
