Hi

As I told before: I have here another fly with amazing properties... it managed to survive during more than 30 min in freezer!!! And over 1 week inside a vial without water... very strange... I never saw a fly managed surviving so long time. It must be the super fly.




* locality - Amorosa - Viana do Castelo - PORTUGAL
* date - 2007.07.01
* size - 6 mm (medium fly)
* habitat - paul (swamps...)
* substrate - leaves


Sciomyzidae?? IF so, there would be my very first Sciomyzidae. Yes, the fly is yet alive! Impressive!


EDIT ----> Title changed from "super fly. Sciomyzidae ?" to "Sciomyzidae - Euthycera sp."
