Today's instalment of 'Flies are the Best Animals' is brought to you by Drosophilidae.

This bad boy was sampled from the Peruvian Amazon whilst on an #OperationWallacea field trip.

For Christmas Eve Eve and my last day in work, I give you this wonderful fly that was collected on an #OperationWallacea trip to Honduras last year.

Richardia - an antlered fly for the season! (Show off males)

Wonderful creatures that were found high up in the cloud forests.

Finally putting labels and barcodes on the material collected from the #OperationWallacea Peru trip in March

This was the amazing Forcipomyia sp. specimen engorging herself for the sake of her offspring! And it’s not only vertebrates that midges fed upon…
