https://www.jeugdbondsuitgeverij.nl/product/de-vliegenfamilies-met-drie-voetkussentjes/ is just out ! The best 14 euro’s you have ever spend ( And I keep wondering why I am not rich 🤑) For all non dutch readers: there will be an English translation, but not this year (spring 2022) Enjoy Theo |

Great Eric. And rest assured: I have enough money, hence I don't get one penny from your 14 euros. Jeugdbondsuitgeverij is world champion in making cheap books (their audience are youth = jeugd) and I gladly support them. Theo |

Is voetkussentje a common entomological word? |

I already received the book. I can recommend it to everyone (although I can imagine some of you might want to wait for the English translation). For the price of Euro 14.-- I think it is still worth buying it, even if Dutch is not that easy for you to read. Congratulations Theo, very nice publication!!! Jan Willem van Zuijlen |

@John : we in the Netherlands have a tradition of using dutch terms in popular science. In dipterology, this dates back to Van der Goot in the 1950s. So, we avoid “pulvilli” and say “voetkussentjes” Personally, I totally overlooked it can be read as “kissing feet”. My boss predicts this book will have a large “secondary market of interest” Theo |
