Melanophora roralis. You have earwigs in the wood pile.

Or more likely Porcellio woodlice (I'd be interested to know of any rearing from Forficula, John...)

You are right, I was mixing up hosts of two species of Oestroidea that like to hang around rotting wood. Triarthria setipennis is the earwig parasite.

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
