You are right, Chris! I never seen before a Stratiomyidae fly. This is the first one I saw! The long antennas did cheat me. Sad

I think that is possible to reach, at least, genus level, but in diptera gallery I didn?t find any like this one.

 This species is really funny because it moves the antennas alternatively back and forth.

Yes. I saw that. And it is really very quiet. This could be call the "quiet fly" Smile not "soldier fly".

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
