 Hi All. I found this fly with its striped abdomen curved while feeding at bramble flowers in lowland meadows, glos, UK at the weekend. Can someone please ID this, at least to genus level. Thank you. Peter.

 Hello nomad,

A Conopidae of the genus Sicus. Brownish flies with yellow head and big eyes. Only females can be definitely identified. Yours is a male. The most common species is Sicus ferrugineus. The other species are very rare.

Greetings,

Ectemnius

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
