 This robber fly is hanging upside down a leaf, with body length close to 1 cm. The colour is somewhere between brown and orange but closer to orange.

Location is lowland rainforest, Perak, Malaysia.

 Nope (sorry Jorge...) -- not that subfamily. This is a Damalis sp., of the subfamily Trigonomiminae. Damalis is a very large genus found throughout the Old World tropics; species of this group perch on twig tips of plants (just like Ommatius do).

Cheers,

Eric

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
