this site contains photo series showing characters needed to
identify Diptera to species level. It has been created to simplify
communication with specialists, I'm asking to check my
identification attempts. If this is your first visit on this site,
please keep in mind that many groups have not been seen by a
specialist and the names given are not reliable.
The geographic range covered, is simply the place where I live: Gemeinde Sinntal in the northeastern part of the Spessart in Germany. Contact me for details.
As you can easily see, the site is currently just a stub, consisting of the photo series and some recipes how to make them. A lot of importantDiptera Gallery / Last Additions

photos in your own work, but only after you've received my
explicit written consent. I disagree to show them on commercial
websites (containing ads), not even as a thumbnail.
