 Scotland, moorland , July 2020 This is a small (wing length 2.5mm) Scathophagid (I think) with a very distinctive black peg-like spine underneath the front femora - Any ideas on the genus or species?

 I think Anthomyzidae, which have this conspicuous spine on the underside of the front femora.

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
