Hugely significant report from Amnesty International today concluding that Israeli authorities are committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. This extensive investigation must be fully considered - and a full arms embargo *must* be implemented to stop further UK complicity

Thought I'd photographed a male of the frequent Limnophora riparia along the River Lune, Lancs during the @DipteristsForum summer meeting but the dark frons and pale vibrissal angles show it's the much rarer L. exuta. Male of riparia for comparison. @UKMuscidae

On top of a large boulder in Killarney NP: a lush, diverse mini-wonderland of ferns, tree saplings, and other flora, in stark contrast to little but bracken all around. How so? The tops of such rocks are among the very few places sika deer + goats can't reach.

One of the commonest leaf mines is produced by larvae of the nepticulid moth Stigmella aurella on bramble. Shown with illustration of the life history stages (fig.1) in a plate from Henry Stainton's Natural History of the Tineina, 1855

Dagger Flies (Empididae) a fascinating group of flies with 103 species occurring in Ireland. I have now digitised the historic and more recent records which are now available online here: maps.biodiversityireland.ie/Dataset/366?or… I look forward to expanding this dataset over the coming years.

Many excellent talks at the Dipterist Day at the NHM London. A diverse range of talks from Diptera migration, Muscidae study group, fossil diptera taxonomy and studying dark taxa - Cecidomyiidae. It was great to catch up with diptera folk. 😁

A new muscid genus just added to Falk Flickr @N07/collections/72157721555291989/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">flickr.com/photos/6307520…. Lispe has 10 British representatives. They love the bare wet mud of upper saltmarsh, river banks and lake margins. Both adults and larvae are predatory. Adults have an elaborate courtship.
