There are a lot of these small flies in the litter in our garden - which group is it? Body length 2,5 mm, long arista, spines at the back of scutellum and sharp-edged abdomen. From south Sweden today.

Regards

Krister

Hi krister,
You will need a male to be certain from genitalia. The species cannot be distinguished from I. vaporariorum otherwise.

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
