Drosophila? Image taken in Cairo yesterday. I estimate the length of the body to be 5mm.

Would that be near to Cambodia Nikita? Closer than the letter D is to the letter G on the keyboard? Sorry about that Nikita..no flies or anything else here at the moment, I'm turning ultra-pedantic  .

I know that..I thought you didn't, so went along with your naming of it. You said it was an OLD photo, might still have been Cambodia when it was taken...we're not getting any younger  .Just checked...it's either or. Edited by Roger Thomason on 25-01-2009 15:55 |
