Hello,

I know this is not easy to identify a fly from a front view but it is probably a common species that may be recognized.
Large ie 10-12mm.
Loc. forest pond 20km West of Paris.
Several feeding on dead freshwater snail on the edge of the pond.
Any idea? at least of the family?

Thanks,

FRV

Muscidae, possibly Graphomya.

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
