 Hello, Smile
This fly was very tiny (about 3mm) and hard to get proper pics of as it kept jumping high up in the air, unlike any other fly I have ever seen. It's very pretty with a shiny emerald green suit. In fact everything was shiny on it...

I met it a few times in the rainforest of Brazil close by a river near Paraty.
The pics date from the 10th Febr. this year
Can anyone help me to find its family and if possible Genus?
Many thanks!
Myriam Smile

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
