The passing of another dipterist: Kaupo Elberg (20 Nov 1934 – 30 Aug 2012)
A sad message that reached me though the Sciomyzid Workers network:
Dear Sciomyzidae workers!
I regret to inform you that Dr. Kaupo Elberg passed away on Friday, 30th of August.
In accordance with his wish, public announcements and condolences have not been distributed.
Yours sincerely

Don Webb (1939-2012)
Gail Kampmeier reported on Facebook to have received the sad news that Don Webb passed away on Wednesday, Sept. 5th in his home. Don worked as a dipterist at the Illinois Natural History Survey starting in 1966, and retired in 2007, although still working on flies as his golf game permitted. Raise a rum & coke in his honor for he will be missed! Here is a photo from the International Congress of Dipterology in 2010 in Costa Rica.
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
