Can anyone ID this one for me. It appears to be a miniature robberfly. The brown stick it is resting on is actually the leg of a stick insect and is about the thickness of fishing line. The thorax is very highly reflective, you can actually see my shape reflected in it, the bright spot is the flash.
Is anyone familiar with these?

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
