#FlyFriday: Taxonomists have to do a great deal of detective work, as demonstrated by this new publication from Dr Andrew Ross, @flygirlNHM & team! 📄 "A fly in the ointment: the re-discovered holotype of ‘Trypeta’ cylindrica..." mapress.com/zt/article/vie… 📷 Trustees of the NHM

As #FlySchool24 finishes, the participants have turned their Dipterological skills to #art Call me impressed. @GeooRoojas painted the empids, @carusophora painted the Dipteran Explosion, whilst the wings is a group composition! What talent @dipteracourse @dipterists
Prepare to have your mind BLOWN This fly (Fannia sp) was found in the meat baited Shannon trap covered in Dermatobia hominis - The HUMAN BOTFLY Botflies usually lay eggs on flies that feed on humans (as the eggs drop when feeding) and these are larvae! #FySchool24
