I found today several specimens of a Limoniidae fly, which looks like a species in the genus Molophilus (by the wing vein pattern according to the kolumbus.fi website). It is rather small and looks fragile. Any idea which species is may be? I found it in a home garden in Groningen, the NOrth of the Netherlands. Thanks

Molophilus griseus. Shape of gonostyli (best visible in the last photo) is quite distinctive.
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

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
