Here's a nice review of my book Super Fly in "Fly Times," a very cool online publication of fly specialists. See page 67, but be sure to check out other cool photos of flies, postage stamps featuring flies, and antique postcards featuring flies! dipterists.org/assets/PDF/fly…

Here's another alluring tidbit from my new book SUPER FLY: Curious fly names: Quasimodo flies have a hunchbacked appearance; Elephantomyia has very long mouthparts; and the Beyonce fly, Printhina beyonceae, has a bright yellow abdomen! penguinrandomhouse.com/books/606176/s…

Here's a sobering fact from my new book SUPER FLY: Over 15 diseases are transmitted to humans from mosquitoes, which alone outrank humans for causing human deaths. Malaria death rates are comparable to those from COVID during the current pandemic. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/606176/s…
