Hi, there are some species that even lay larvae that almost immediately become pupa-s, one at a time, these are the so-called Pupiparans: Hippoboscidae, Streblidae, Nycteribiidae. The photo is very interesting!

Hi,

Sarcophagidae (like in the link) are commonly larviparous. Many tachinidae have similar strategies.

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
