About 20-30 individuals were found yesterday near some dog droppings, next to a road in a secondary forest nature reserve.
Most of them walked on leaves / droppings, and they "greeted" each other just like what ants did.
Two of them were of bigger size and brownish body colour, while others were in black.

Other flies around were some Muscidae and Sarcophagidae species, plust two Ptecticus aurifer (or relatives)

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
