Very 'cool' idea having seasonal avatars. My very wintery avatar was taken not so far from where Stephane is. Perhaps I need to think about a summer one for next year.

First daytime frost on sunday (but some flies were still flying in the sun)

jorgemotalmeida 23 October 2007 13:28:46

Here, during the day, temperatures reach almost 20 ?C. But mornings are cold - 9 ?C or so... no frost yet.

Susan R Walter 23 October 2007 12:38:49

First frost of the season here on the outskirts of London this morning.

almost 2 million visits! Impressive!

I'd rather close the separate Asilidae and Syrphidae forums. Maintaining more family forums would eventually require the transfer of many threads to the correct forum.

conopid 18 October 2007 09:17:29

Hmmm, there are a lot of really useful postings about Tachinidae. Maybe Tachinids need their own family forum? Paul?

Since the bugphotography.net link has been dead for quite some tme the link has been removed from the Weblinks.

conopid 16 October 2007 08:31:41

Yes, a magnificent photo of a wonderful fly.
