I traded with Wayne once. My package was destroyed unfortunately during shipping. He still sent me specimens. I've seriously upgraded my shipping containers after this mistake. Recently been working on another trade will keep everyone posted. My parcel should be here this week.

Any pictures? Glad to hear there are other fly guys around. My Asilid season has been slow #1 Laphria trux has been the best. Working on getting more next month should be a blast for large flies.

Great thread: going to try this out soon. Paying to ship ethyl acetate or drive to LA is a pain especially when I'd rather be hunting. Thanks

The mydas xanthopterus in California is a bit smaller without the dark margins on wings. There are many Pepsis on the way to the high country but understand what you're saying about the pepsis. Could you send your data for these species? gyna11@hotmail.com. caught my first Hemipepsis of the socal season.

Hard to believe there aren't many people talking about flys on here. First off they're a challenge to catch, many are very rare, every type of diptera are interesting, many species are attractive (lol), look great in collections. My list goes on. Caught my first big fly last year a mydas xanthopterus this totally changed my life. Maybe its a good thing there aren't many fly people? Still waiting to catch an Archilestris missed one last summee and its on my mind everyday. Won't hold my breath for a response on flys!

Well thanks to logging got blocked from checking my traps no cazieri for me this year. Did find a spot in Shasta cty Ca for Omus. Anyone have an idea which subspecies this could be? Also caught a few C.w.pseudosenilis and C.t.inyo on my way back home. Got my bioquip order. This season has started nicely even after my frustration in Ashland.
