Congratulations for these photos!!! I think you have already described your equipment. Have You ever tried such an equipment for making a non-ring flash to make it a ring-like one?

Thanks pwalter. I think I've described it before but for this I used a new (very old) lens: Leitz Milar 65mm f4.5 – I've described it briefly here: http://www.flickr...925917230/ |

Nice pics, Platymya fimbriata comes to mind, but difficult to say for sure.

Jaakko> Thanks! Do you know what the characteristics that I should look for to get this confirmed are? Good to know if the next time I encounter it... pwalter> No I haven't! I like flash photography but I'm not a big fan of ring flashes for aesthetic reasons ;-) I have one but never use it... |

P. fimbriata is a very common, around 5mm completely dark (no red anywhere) tachinid with hairy eyes, bristles on the humerals in straight line. Inner edge of the calypters has dark-brown to black border, which is very characteristic, but difficult to see without spreading the wings. This one is quite likely P. fimbriata. |
