The category for this would be "recording" but since there isn't such a category I'll put it here: I've been trying out the iNaturalist project system for a month now at https://www.inatu...tanypezids and whilst the flies are in season, records are coming in at 3 or 4 per day. So at the very least it's entertaining, with the occasional cracking photograph. Distribution patterns are beginning to emerge. Easy to set up, little effort to manage (depending on the popularity of the Family), not much obligation and colleagues can join the project to collaborate. The only other one I know of is Valter Jacinto's Diptera of Europe (https://www.inatu...-of-europe) which covers everything. Would any of the other Diptera experts care to set one up? I'd like to visit ones on Conopidae or Sciomyzidae each day too. Edited by Darwyn Sumner on 04-09-2020 15:53 |

Darwyn thanks for the tip - although I use iNaturalist I had never quite realised the potential of projects. I have now set one up .... Iain Iain MacGowan |

Got it Iain - https://www.inatu...onchaeidae Good timing too as I've just received notice that Nigel Jones has set up a UK Study Group for the Lance-flies (Lonchaeidae) (World Lonchaeidae Scratchpad site at http://lonchaeida...cies.info/) Good luck with it all |

I very much do support these projects. While I won't start a project myself, I might help with usability questions regarding iNaturalist. Feel free to ask :-) Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated. My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated. |

I've now set one up for Sciomyzidae + Phaeomyiidae At https://www.inatu...sciomyzids I confess I've no great skills at identifying these from photographs but others have. If you have those skills then do please have a go at confirming the posts of others there. If not then you've an interesting gallery to take a look at. |

All the Dipterists Forum recording scheme projects are now bundled together in one place: https://www.inatu...ists-forum Apologies to the hoverflies for omitting them - their numbers would swamp everything out Good hunting Darwyn |
