Been attempting to progress with identifying female Anthomyiidae, my brain hurts! Needed a break so here's a Dryomyza anilis www.dipteraid.co.uk #anthomyiidae #dryomyzidae #dipteraidentification #insectimaging #bespoketraining

Not seeing many posts about flies lately, so here's Geomyza tripunctata, separated in females (if the scutum is orange) from the very similar G. nartshukae, by the shape of sternite 8. From calcareous grassland in Devon this year. #ecology #flies www.dipteraid.co.uk #dipteraidentification #imaging

Identification job finished; whilst I wait for the next one, here's a fly. Dryomyza anilis (looking grumpy 😒) from local Devon wet woodland earlier this year. www.dipteraid.co.uk #dipteraidentification #insectimaging #bespoketraining

Suillia affinis from local East Devon woods. Any ecologists out there with a backlog of Diptera needing determinations? I have space for sub-contracted work going into December/January and beyond. Please contact me if I can help! #dipteraidentification www.dipteraid.co.uk Please share, thanks!

It should say 'any' ecologists! 🙂 An enlargement of Ravinia pernix's head. #Sarcophagidae #dipteraidentification www.dipteraid.co.uk

www.dipteraid.co.uk/its-all-abou... a mini blog to break up the day. From a site in East Devon that hopefully I will get to spend more time at this year. @flygirlnhm.bsky.social the type of 💩 is important 🙂
