Hi flyforum,


Nice to see you again. :) This time I spotted near ?vora four acrocerids! :) I caught some... So far I saw 10 acrocerids.

I have here another fly (not acrocerid) with amazing properties... it managed to survive during more than 30 min in freezer!!! And over 2 weeks inside a vial without water... very strange... I never saw a fly managed so long time. It must be the super fly. :) I will show you more later. But for now take a look for the new acrocerid (or the same...). :)

Please compare with this other acrocerid I caught:
