hello all!
Here is a fly in an alleged baltic amber. The stone is sell on ebay. I tried to find an illustration of this shape of antenna in my books without success. Any idea of the family?

Another question: It might be a fake amber or a fake inclusion in amber. I will find out when I will get it and show to a specialist!! Here is the question: Are flies in baltic amber so rare that it is tempting to produce fake inclusions of flies?

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
