 Hello. I discovered some A. aphidimyza larvae in some leaves of a plant near my home (I live near Padova, Italy). As you can see these larve literally suck aphid contents after paralyze it, but often the aphid carrion is left partially un-eaten. Today one of the pupae hatched and I was able to get some photos of the adult (was very little, near 2 mm, and not quiet, so it was pretty hard to get decent photos!). Hope you will enjoy these pics.

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
