 This fly species was ubiquitous on the beach in Suriname. Not a nuisance fortunately, and mostly staying very low to the ground or even inside the tunnels of ghost crabs (like this specimen). Please help with an ID.

 Thanks! At probably less than 1 cm quite small for Sarcophagidae, as far as I know. But now filed as such.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Canada plans to eliminate the Diptera group at the CNC. See post in the News section of the main page.

Pipunculidae from Mongolia! I am looking for specialist who is committed to ID these. There will be a lot of material coming from my expeditions.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
