Hi


A friend of mine: Anthony Gould took this photo on 15th August 2007 in Arizona. This is, I think, a Poecilognathus sp. It was feeding on desert marigold. Perhaps P. unimaculatus (but we must see dorsal view to be sure).

This photo was granted by him. I think this is the best photo available on the net with this detail.

This beautiful bombyliid is confirmed as a female of Poecilognathus unimaculatus.

I now have a new desktop background on my computer - I am sure I am not the only one, I hope your friend Anthony does not mind?

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
