 Hi!

Does anyone has an idea what Robberfly this could be?

Found in South Africa (Pretoria) at a rocky slope with scattered vegetation (Febr. 2006)

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
