I figured a marsh area from the photo. I always find them in marshy areas.
I like Ptychoptera. A very interesting group of insects. I have to laugh because they follow me from plant to plant as I photograph wildlife. Then when I turn to photograph them, they fly away. Smile

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
