Snow here too, time to study and contemplate spectacular trapping methods.

Perhaps more common, perhaps less overlooked. Not special that you find them, certainly not these days, but they are beuatiful, yes.

BTW, Paul, did Sargus bipunctatus became more common during the last decades? I remember 20-25 years ago an article in Entomologische Berichten about the species. As far as I know it was then consider

rvanderweele 21 October 2010 06:23:16

Not special? I think these flies are really beautiful animals. Until now I haven't seen the species in the Betuwe.

Sphyracephala movie!

Paul Beuk 20 October 2010 23:40:57

Nothing special about that. A species well known to be about in fall, even in November (weather permitting).

rvanderweele 20 October 2010 22:41:21

In Hungary I collected in october always series of Sargus bipunctatus.

Paul Beuk 20 October 2010 20:34:43

I remember a 20 October a 25 odd years ago with 20 degrees and me collecting two species of Didea.

Snow already!!Okay, you are in the north, but snow on October 20th.

Roger Thomason 20 October 2010 05:24:00

7 months of snow, 4 months of crap...now snow again! I'm up for adoption...must be somewhere warm! Sense of humour an advantage. Nearly house trained. Apply within.

Indeed, I found in the past some of his articles on the Net. I don't why I was too stupid to find the other ones. I wll look for them. Thanks!

Paul Beuk 19 October 2010 10:52:40

Some of them. But it should be possible to find most using Google.

rvanderweele 18 October 2010 07:50:39

Does somebody has the articles of Daugeron about African Empididae?

Nikola, please put your great portrait of the Salticella also on diptera.info. The photo on Facebook is just great.

rvanderweele 13 October 2010 20:20:52

what do you mean, Andre? It is a great Heleomyzidae. BTW, I collected there as well an Agathomyia sexmaculata, which is not at all often collected!

Andre 13 October 2010 10:06:36

What's that, Ruud?

rvanderweele 11 October 2010 09:37:13

I am particularly happy with the female Eccoptomera longiseta, which I collected yesterday in Marienwaerdt!
