A few of these gathered on the Airport grit bins, they must like the colour yellow. Might be Empis verralli ?? Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [67.33Kb] |

It can be ID-ed, but I'd rather have the specimen to do it then the picture.

Well first I have to catch a pigeon which should be simple enough, the tricky bit is catching one who knows where you live But seriously, however you want it, at whatever address. Roger Got some Sphaeroceridae to ID too, just a couple, one only 1mm and do you fancy trying those Cecidomiidae I posted in a thread yesterday  . that would drive a sane man to drink  Regards Roger |

Sphaeros are okay. Gall midges give me a bad case of indigestion unless I eat them  And my address is here: http://www.nhmmaa...gemeen.htm Edited by Paul Beuk on 23-05-2010 23:12 Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |

Mr. Thomason, may I congratulate you on your excellent capabilities as a dipterists and express my deepest sympathy at your capabilities to photograph the specimens? You, indeed, collected Empis veralli but managed to take a picture of the only female in the bunch that missed the fork in R4+5 in both wings. The picture of the male did not show the genitalia or the wings properly, so could not be identified from a picture either. I have now examined the specimens you sent so I can confirm your initial ID and correct my own. Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |

Dr Beuk, you certainly may if you feel the need, but wonder which word could be missing after "dipterists", as the word implies something to follow, possibly "nightmare" or something along those lines? Your deepest sympathies would be much better expressed to others on D.info, (too numerous to mention) but I thought you might have liked the challenge. I think you should photograph them properly and post them to this thread so I and others might benefit from seeing how it should be done. Enough Twaddle for one post from me, and a big thank you for determining these for me. Regards Roger PS. Can I have my pigeon back! Send it by mail as it doesn't know my address...it only knew yours....TA |
