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

rvanderweele 14 November 2010 14:25:33

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.

Paul Beuk 14 November 2010 01:06:02

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

rvanderweele 13 November 2010 22:21:51

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" .

I’m so thanks from you and your attention, I have a question: Are there any web sites that I can download them or no? again thanks a lot!

To continue: Check also Hugo Andersson's generic key and Entomologica Fennica papers from the 1990's.

KWQ 13 November 2010 14:28:38

In general, Narthuk's key in Bei-Bienko (Keys to the insects of the European part of Russia) leads to the right track, but in the Oscinellinae part I prefer Collin's old (1945) British key.
