Moved
Moved from immature stages, parasitized hosts, & metamorphosis. Thanks v. I'll move these out to the fly page, so that they aren't missed.

 
they won't be
...'cuz i bounced the link to Norm Woodley early in the morning...
he most kindly looks at whatever i send his way, but otherwise does not seem to make rounds

a profile view of the head may help a lot, i think
lovely shot, Lynette.

 
profile view of the head
I'll work on that. Thanks.

 
excellent...

 
Head profile added
let me know if you need something better/different. I still have the fly.

 
Lynette,
i have no idea what else may be needed, and even whether the heal will help. my request was based on long-term observations only: it seems like the tach images are more likely to get more advanced IDs if the expert can look them in the eyes...
i've never keyed out a single calyptrate fly in my life, and have no clue which formal features are used to ID this or that taxon, sorry :(
