 I came across this huge (~10cm) grasshopper in the Tsaris mountains in Namibia in August. It might be a flightless species or a nymph - anyone know family/sp.?

 I think a nymph of Pyrgomorphidae.
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

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
