I guess an Eccoptomera filata male will have a higher price than a Suillia variegata, but what will be the difference between variegata and affinis?

so, stalked-eyed flies have commercial value.
I think in a few years we will look in a new edition of the Cat. of. Pal. Diptera, in which also the "price" of the species are given.

Speaking of stalk-eyed flies, I just stumbled upon this: http://cgi.ebay.c...67504181QQ, I would rather collect it myself though.

Roger: I guess Vikings always were easily amused; it is just what we find amusing that has changed.

Multinationals are now doing it globally on an industrial scale, thought you might have noticed.

Nowadays, these are only practiced on the Shetlands...

while running a 10K I saw quite some Calliphoridae flying.
And no, I did not drink wine before putting on my running shoes!

I don't like the use of alcohol. I rather drink it
It is easy to put the flies on EtOH, but to use them laater becomes a nuisance.

Micropinning IMO is better than glueing, but I put most in alcohol these days.

Who of you is glueing tiny flies on cards? Until now I am used to minuten pins, but read that glueing has certain advantages.

Haven't heard of any. I guess that like there were "developing countries", Chloropidae are "developing fly families" .
