Hello everybody,

I think everyone thought since the beginning that the string "amateur dipterologist" used by Nikita as a signature was not enough to account for his knowledge and his engagement in the field of dipterology.

Therefore, I was very pleased to see the new signature "Zool Museum of Moscow University" appearing recently.

Nikita :
May I congratulate you?
May _we_ congratulate you?
Can you tell us more?

Dear Pierre,
nothing dramatically changed in my life. At least last 1.5 year I was full time dipterologist and worked in Moscow Zool Museum as freelancer. Now I'm formally in museum staff, but according our non-formal agreement still without real sallary, but still with my right to present in Museum only when I want/need it.
My current freelancer choise is flight to Bangkok from tomorrow evening till 01 Mar Grin
Dear Roger,
as I guess you know, flight to Bangkok also means that genitalia are
still intact
Grin

Nikita

Have a good trip Nikita...but watch where you put your Pooter, some of those Thai Flies aren't what the appear to be Grin. Just when you think you've got a Fannia pusio, it turns out to be an Anthomyia confusanea..a bit of a bummer, literally.
