Do these flies come in other colours? I found quite a large fly only it was light blue in colour with no hint of any green hue. In North America, Blowflies (family Calliphoridae) can be shining metallic blue, green or bronze; some appear black and others are checker-board grey. In the genus Lucilia...

Do you have literature/keys to do so? (If so do you mind posting some info about those?). I have only a key to the NA species; but there must be some keys for the UK species. The standard text for Europe is Rognes, K. 1991. Blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of Fennoscandia and Denmark. E.J. Brill/...

How does it use these strange mouthparts?--Rik According to Steve Marshall "Insects Their Natural History and Diversity" (the best book for species identification for insects of eastern North America) the proboscis is housed in the snout; its drops down at right angles when the fly feeds. So my gue...

It looks like the standard three occeli (simple eyes) have been displaced forward and they seem to have benefitted from the big-eye gene. Harold I had a difficult time trying to find literature re ocelli in Mayflies. Normally ocelli are rather small but these below the eye are huge. Snodgrass 1935 ...

(ttl cannot work, so I guess I need a flash meter) Also there is no way to use an af lens on a bellows bc one cannot adjust the f/stop manually. I guess Ill tr...

Gallery Pages ?
Is it possible/practical/desireable to have gallery pages for commonly posted subjects? An example would be a page for Fly Faces, thumbnails at perhaps 200 pixels wide, 4 across and perhaps 4 or 5 rows. This would let the viewer compare images in a very convenient way, such as posing styles, lightin...
