Tachydromia, as I presume, from the building wall. Any idea what sp. this can be?

More likely are aemula or arrogans. Usually you will find umbrarum on trees.

That's interesting, I had not realised that some species prefer rocky surfaces against trees.

I guess true rocky surfaces might even attract their own species, but the species I mentioned are frequently also found on walls as they occupy the transition zone between the vegetation and vertical surfaces.

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
