Giorgio, put several wetted pieces of toilet paper into a small plastic box, put your dried horsefly inside and store it in a fridge. After one or two deys, you can observe the refreshed eyes. If the eyes were banded, you can see such band(s) after the refreshing.
Thank to you and Theo for info. I'm doing the refreshing. Unfortunately, don't wait for second specimen: it seemed to me greasy and after diving in acetone (to see if there were white patches on abdomen or not), I lost it because a sudden gust make fly the plastozote were it was fixed to dry near the window. :o
Until now any trace of it, Sorry!
