Cullaloe LNR weekend flies

Some nice flies at the weekend, even in a small sample

Palloptera scutellata (Rush Flutter Fly) was beaten out of spruce on Saturday - new to me and to the reserve.


On Sunday the chironomid Anatopynia plumipes (Fries) was swept over the spillway.




Also new to the reserve were the muscid  Coenosia lacteipennis and the fruit fly Drosophila subobscura

  1. You're keying chironomids and Drosophilidae?!?!? Just bring EVERY key you have with you when you get here, just so I know what to order!
