Hi Eric, Thanks for the ID, I thought you might recognize it. Wink

And Jorge..I used to work in a bar and we were called Bar Stewards ( well most of the time) Wink I've got no way to collect flies here and it's so dry, hardly any plants that aren't burnt to a cinder.. A bit "Apocalypse Now" to look at or similar to the Botanical Garden in Windhoek at last years ICD9 everything frazzled with very few flies. awkwardSmile

Prey is a dark Vespula pensylvanica, the only regional species with a complete yellow ring around the eye and vulgaris-type abdominal markings. It is common in the West, and absent in Pennsylvania despite the species name.

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
