Here are the different sizes of flies for the new bies out there. Feeding nymphs usually start with the melnogasters, or Turkish gliders, then the hydei then onto house flies and bbs . So left to right:

mel, gliders, hydei,, false stable fly, house fly, blue bottle fly.

As a newbie here I just wanted to pop in and say that this thread has been an inspiration! I just LOVE your setup! <3

 
Very nice Becky. That is a nice patch. I also enjoy seeing the various flies pinned together to see their comparative sizes and characteristics. I also catch a larger fly here in the summer. I will have to get one and send it to you so you can have it for comparison. It is some sort of sarcophagid fly larger the blow flies at about twice the mass of the local green bottle flies.

 
:sweatdrop: :eek: :shaun:Would like to see that, I wanted to raise some of the larger species, but after reading about disease they spread and biting flesh, I ran away from that idea!
