 Hi
The green fly below was abt 4mm long. Unlike other flies, it is very reactive to flash and immediately glies away. Pictred in Dar es Salaam on a spider lily leaf.

 Dolichopodidae. In this region we have (had? dunno if the name still is valid) Nodicornis with such long antennal styles.

 Nodicornis is now synonym of Sybistroma, but it has never such dense whiskers. Rhaphium usually has much shorter stylus. Conoid postpedicel with strictly apical stylus, long slender legs, ventral cilia on fore femur vote for Sciapodinae (female of Chrysosoma is quite probable).

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
