 Another one - perhaps I'm seeing broad faces everywhere [edit - I am], but this one does seem rather wide...

Lusaka City, Lusaka Province, Zambia.
30 September 2011.
In shrubbery next to large ornamental pond, in the showgrounds (dominated by a mixture of densely packed but infrequently used buildings, large arenas, paddocks, stables and dry scruCool.
Size: 8-10mm?

Will.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
