 Dear dipterists
Anybody have a clue, if adult sphaerocerid flies feed (and thus defaecate) ?

 I think they feed by 'drinking' from the substrate. I know they defecate because when I have larger number of flies in my exhauster its surface hets riddles with small drop(ping)s.

Hi. Please delete all photos of E. carrapateira I've uploaded. I did not remember that I already had uploaded that species in particular. Except the pallidifacies (this was not present yet). Thank

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile

@zeegers, your book seems difficult to get from Spain, is there another way?
