Dagger Flies (Empididae) a fascinating group of flies with 103 species occurring in Ireland. I have now digitised the historic and more recent records which are now available online here:

I look forward to expanding this dataset over the coming years.

The flash designs include lots of arthropods, not just flies, as an olive branch to the other orders π€
Coven Tattoo is on Instagram as @/coven.phx with an incredible array of art. Just message them to book!
We hope you spread the word and enjoy your visit! See you at ESA! πͺ°π¦

The different forms of the hoverfly Volucella bombylans can and do interbreed, and the offspring presumably segregate in a Mendelian fashion. However, there are three varieties so it must get complicated. It would make a fascinating study. I used this photo on the cover my book 'Courtship and mate-finding in insects', although these two flies have clearly found each other already!π€£ β at Scarborough, England
