 This Brachycera male was found in a grassland close to a swamp, just outside Stockholm Sweden in May this year. A very characteristic patern on the back - is it possible to say what genus it belongs to? I was thinking about perhaps Drosophila??

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
