 Hello ebbek,

Nope, a female Themira. Probably T. lucida as that species is also quite common on bird droppings at the coast in the Netehrlands...

Kind regards,
Ectemnius

 Thanks a lot! When I look in Pont & Meier (2002) it fits well to lucida or pusilla and females of these two species seems to be very difficult to separate….


Best regards

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
