dear coleagues,
have somebody experience with Heleomyzidae in syrup, beer or wine traps? We have only Suillia spp. Did you trapped any other genera?
Thanks
Katka

Hi Katerina.

I've done some trapping this spring and caught some Gymnomus, Heleomyza, Tephrochlamys and quite interesting Suillias.

The bait started out as a fresh orange but now it is a delicious mix of rotten orange, apple, banana and mouse droppings :)

Thanks, Cyprinoid/Hyperbolizer!
Can you write us specimens ratio for all genera? We have controlled five traps with 100% starwberry sirup. No Heleomyzid after three weeks. We have very good experiance with beer during the summer and we are searching for all other possibilities. All available data as well as published papers are welcomed!

I will make a list of all specimens with dates. I can post it here if you are interested. I still have some sorting to do + some that needs to be verified.
