As a reminder - please post different taxa in different threads - otherwise it gets very confusing to keep referring to 1, 2, 2 etc. ;)
I see various families but it is nearly impossible to give good identifications from wet specimens ... if you can dry and pin them then you will get better and more confident identifications ;)

Ummm... To pin a fly, one needs pins, to dry a fly one needs a drier, to label a fly one needs a labeler, to identify a fly... one needs a specialist in each particular taxon, a family or even a genus, that is why it is better not to mess up... B)

Dear Nosferatumyia,
Firstly, thanks for your advice.
In this thread, you considered No. 10 as Tephritidae:
Galbifascia probably
sexpunctata. But I didn't lookup correlative references and figures on the Internet.

I think N. 4 is the
Lonchaea nitens (Bigot)
Posted by zhengxialin on 05-07-2011 03:45

N. 3 is the
Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius)
