Can we get a lateral view of the head, please ?

Theo
 
MorganA
Yes you can!
 
Zeegers
Si, the vertex is broad but lacks proclinate orbitals. Internediate.

Genitalia are decisive.Theo
 
MorganA
Thank you! Is it easy to prep the genitalia? (I'v never done it before)

Take a plastic box and put a folded old newspaper in.
Make it completely moist (ie full of damp, but just no water).
Put the fly on an itex in for 8 - 12 hours ( I do it overnight)

Then all should be flexible.

The genitalia tend to be connected with very strong muscles in Tachina.,So try the legs first. We only need a dorsal view of the syncer us, so no need to get the full genitalia completely out.

When done, block the genitalia with a pin, prevent if from bending beck in and let it dry for 24 hours.
