Welcome to the Diptera.info site
This is an interactive site for dipterists from all continents dealing with all aspects of dipterology (the study of Diptera: flies and midges) and dipterists. Here you can submit all your links to dipterological websites and events, post your dipterological queries in the forum, submit articles and news on Diptera, and contribute pictures for the Diptera Gallery. Submissions are open for members and members can contribute to the forums.
Enjoy the site and help to build it up to a significant entry point for dipterological research.

A work of skill, surpassing sense,
A labor of Omnipotence;
Though frail as dust it meet thine eye,
He form'd this gnat who built the sky.-- James Montgomery (The Gnat) |

Unexpected down-time |
|
Probably due to a flood in search bot visits (I can not imagine a DOS attack on Diptera.info) one of the panel scripts on the opening page of the site caused an overload on the database server. As a result the host decided to make the database unavailable until I had sorted the problem. Well, I had sorted the problem but next it took them more than 24 hours to get things back. Anyway, the panel was disabled and another panel is not presented in a more simple version to also reduce the server load. Hopefully everything will keep on moving normally now.
I apologise for any frustration this may have caused you. You can count on it that I was frustrated...

This course will emphasize Florida/Southeastern US taxa, but more can be covered depending on participants. The instructor will be Dr. J.H. Epler, author of numerous identification manuals for aquatic insects.

New forum added |
|
|
I added a new forum Misidentifications in Gallery to report any errors you might find in the Gallery. Admittedly, you can report such in the Comments as well but these go unnoticed by many members. So, please, use the forum when ever necessary. (I hope not too often.)
