Hello!

Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. Siebrand 17:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lightning of photos[edit]

First time someone comments my photos. Thanks.

I originally had a (cheap) Medion MD 6126, but I had read, that it had the best possibilities for Macros at that time. And I got fine pictures indeed. Exactly after expiring the guarantee, it broke down. Then I went to a big chain to have a look and I was totally frustrated by the mass of possibilities. So I went to my old shop, and there they told me, that Medion is now Caplio, and that Caplio R3 is (was at that time) the successor of my spoiled camera. So I had an excessive try and was deeply impressed, how much better the R3 was, and the possibilities for macros really excellent. There were two exceptions: For really small thinks no chance and the lightning.

As for lightning: I built a lamp myself. I bought at a shop a neon-tube in form of a ring, which I will call lampring further on (Philips TL-E 32W/33-640) a starter (Osram St 111) with socket and a coil- don't know the name, (ABB VVG 36/230/[something not readable] Ballast VVG S6-120 CF-30 230V/50Hz). You can get it on Internet too, but I preffered a shop, where a electrician would guarantee that the parts work together. Then I mounted all on a simple wooden board, starter and spoil hidden under a plastic box, and the lampring apart on some strong wires about 10 cm higher than the board (though fixed on the board too) For the camera I built a small table with a hight, that reaches just the level above the lampring and a hole for the objective of the camera. The table is so large, that I can move it enough to place the hole over the center of the ring or more close to its border. Now the camera lies on the table, objectiv in the hole looking to the ground, and I place the objects in/under the ring and the objective above. Now the lamp functions like permanent lightning, and does not get hot but warms up only little and slowly. Disadvantage: the sparkling objects show unnatural "spots of lightning (don't know the exact word, the white spots, German: Lichter)" all round the body. Therefore sometimes I use an additional spot light (Crypton lamp) to give a priority direction of light.

As for small things: In the meanwhile a bought an expensive Pentax K-10 with a 18-55 mm zoom objective. I have it mounted visa versa. that enables me to pictures from 2:3 to nearly 4:1. Of course all the automatic doesn't work any more and the front of the camera is not even, so the camera cannot be put on its front with the objective in a hole, also the distances for sharpness are extremely small. Now I have mounted the camera on a mount for Stereobinokular, so I can regulate the hight very accurately. But the mount is to big to place it on the board, and the lampring is only a little bit larger, so I needed new wires to put it round a mount, but the lampring is just in the way nevertheless, complicating very much all the handling. The whole construction is not at all comfortable.

The little depth of sharpness I compensate with a series of photos and stacking them afterwards in one photo with Combine ZM.

If you give me an e-mail, I can sent you a photo of the table and the board, but the later is partly dismounted in order to serve the new camera. And - by the way, what sort of insects are you specialized in? Greetings --Siga 08:50, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Notafly. You can surely to send me your list. I'm waiting for. Bye. --Lalupa 10:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

fly pics[edit]

hi,

thanks for the notice. i was pretty sure it is Tachina grossa at the time, but i have no experience whatsoever with dipteres, so there you go. can you give me a hint what characteristics make this a Calliphora? those are pretty bad pictures anyway, did it with my old camera. cheers --Sarefo 20:30, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

by the way, thanks for the hint to diptera.info. i have *lots* of pictures that i never uploaded because i could not determine the species, maybe this way i'll get them to wikipedia after all. --Sarefo 01:11, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

what fly was that? :)[edit]

hi notafly,

thanks for volunteering to check my fly pics in the feature, i did not find the time yet to prepare them for upload... just wanted to ask you if you can identify this unlucky specimen: Tegenaria atrica feeding on fly. thanks + cheers! --15:48, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Image:Insecto en Santiago 3.jpg[edit]

Thanks. The name of the image is now Image:Episyrphus balteatus Syrphidae Diptera.jpg. Greetings--Lmbuga gl, pt, es: contacta comigo 11:50, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

next fly[edit]

hi robert,

i had the luck to get about 30 different dipteres in front of my lense today in about an hour, and wanted to ask you about this one for now: Image:Undetermined.fly.080616.1.jpg Image:Undetermined.fly.080616.2.jpg maybe i already asked and forgot: is there any book i could get to get a good introduction to diptere diversity? i find it really hard to identify their species. another nice thing would be a field guide with good drawings, i found some for beetles, bugs, butterflies etc., but none for flies... cheers! --Sarefo (talk) 22:03, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Empis pennipes[edit]

Species like this are the reason i'd like to have a complete overview over a genus/family: i guess that this is the only species with feathered legs, judging from the name, but of course i could be wrong. any idea what's that on her back, parasitic eggs maybe? btw, are there any special bristles i should look out for on flies in general? anything that could possibly be caught on film in vivo? --Sarefo (talk) 21:18, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Micropezidae?[edit]

I see these a lot sometimes, they are running on the bark of trees (in this case birch). chinery is the book i'm using for fly determination atm. it's a really great book, but of course, with 300 pages for covering Europe's insect fauna, it's still of limited use. i'll see if i can check out the other collins books. cheers :) --Sarefo (talk) 21:53, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

two more[edit]

this is one of the species that are too uncharacteristic for my untrained eye to determine to family level. probably something common? and then there's this one, cannot find anything like that in chinery, maybe Empididae? btw, it's best if you just answer me on your own talk page, this way everything about one topic is on one page. i didn't know the cedar creek site, it's nice. do you know jim lindsey's amazing Commanster site? about the Tachydromia arrogans: yes, definitely the one on the picture at insektenfotos.de, nice :) cheers! --Sarefo (talk) 17:33, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tachydromia arrogans (Linnaeus 1761)is in Hybotidae. Somehow it was misplaced in our collection.I deleted the link.Now you must find some.I was a bit tired today.Very busy with some very confusing Allancastria from Turkey and Iran RobertNotafly (talk) 19:52, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Undetermined.fly.060819.1.jpg Lauxaniidae This one, I think, is very common but I can't remember the name.

Image:Unknown.diptere.080619.jpg Ceratopogonidae. No chance of a species name from me. Yes I like Commanster. One problem I have with most sites including Diptera.info and BugGuide is that the name of the identifier is not given leaving some doubts.Cheers Robert btw Hybotidae and Tanypezidae were once in Empididae. If I had my way they still would be.Changes of higher rankings are often wrong and very confusing. Tachypeza was onc close to Tachydromia hence the error in our collections not reorganised for some years.All the best Robert Notafly (talk) 20:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ceratopogonidae[edit]

Only males have the plume antennae. I will add a sentence on this sex difference (feeding female in taxobox WP) and then your excllent immage to the WP page bw Notafly (talk) 20:43, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

male Sapromyzosoma quadricincta?[edit]

i have seen these a lot on leaves in a forest, always thought they are some large drosophilid. is it possible to determine it to species/genus level, or gender? i tried to compare venation to lindsey's pics, but am not sure it is the same. cheers! --Sarefo (talk) 17:40, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sapromyzidae close to Sapromyza. That is as much as I know Notafly (talk) 18:59, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Syrphus ribesii[edit]

female? i thought as this species eats aphids as larva, maybe she's thinking about laying their eggs there? --Sarefo (talk) 18:10, 20 June 2008 (UTC) Female Notafly (talk) 15:17, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

mating flies[edit]

Two flies, again a species which i would characterize as "undescript Musca domestica-like", ie. i have no idea :). be sure to check "other version" on the pics, i often take several angles if possible. cheers :) --Sarefo (talk) 18:25, 20 June 2008 (UTC) cf Limnophora Muscidae[reply]

one more[edit]

Fly.080514.jpg. i have quite a backlog on fly pics, as i almost never had the nerve to determine them... --Sarefo (talk) 18:43, 20 June 2008 (UTC) cf Mydaea Difficult[reply]

male?[edit]

Rhagio.scopolaceus.2.jpg (sorry, typo in title) --Sarefo (talk) 13:35, 21 June 2008 (UTC) Male[reply]

Tachydromia[edit]

i started a page for the genus, and fetched a species list from the Encyclopedia of Life. While it's a long list, T. arrogans is missing. It appears in the Psyche article mentioned under References (p61), but it's not clear to me what happened to it. i added a second Tachydromia species, but it's probably even harder (or more impossible ;) to identify this one... --Sarefo (talk) 14:43, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

fly with arms[edit]

This fly was running around on a felled tree, and was strangely moving its first legs in the air, like arm, antennae or something like that. --Sarefo (talk) 15:28, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

cf Platypezidae. Any more photos? Definitely NOT Platypezidae Maybe Ephydridae close to Ochthera Post this pic on Diptera.infowe need a specialist Notafly (talk) 22:05, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

fly with red head[edit]

quite small animal --Sarefo (talk) 15:37, 21 June 2008 (UTC) Anthomyzidae. Very useful since we need a photo. Notafly (talk) 18:59, 21 June 2008 (UTC) Post this pic on Diptera.info We need a specialist[reply]

Crossed frontal bristles are common in Anthomyiidae.This pic is Anthomyiidae but which species? Robert Notafly (talk) 17:14, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Empididae[edit]

Several of these tiny flies were sucking the nectar from Myosotis. I have no idea, maybe it can be determined by host plant? --Sarefo (talk) 16:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC) Correct family.Maybe Hilara (a very big genus) Again I need collection access.Keep sendong the pics, Robert (Busy with forensic work this week. All the best Robert.[reply]

ah, maggots in carcasses, nice :) maybe you know Mark Benecke? He's from Cologne, too. a friend of mine once had an insect dinner with him, i hear he's really great, does a good show :) --Sarefo (talk) 17:41, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I know Mark well. I met him at forensic workshops in Bari and Lausanne. He is very clever and very , very amusing.He speaks beautiful German (being from Cologne) so I suppose you do too.Notafly (talk) 12:31, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

some beetles :)[edit]

hey robert,

in case you're wondering why there were no flys arriving at your talk page lately, i've been trying to determine the modern names for the 1000+ beetle species from C.G. Calwer's beetle book from 1876. there are only 16 species that we could not find a modern name for, they are pictured here. maybe you can hit some beetle expert with these? once i'm finished, i'll upload all these pics to the commons :) and i made a poster from the pictures, i didn't manage to upload it to picasa, i'll show you later. cheers! --Sarefo (talk) 01:02, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That could be difficult.We may have an early synonymy which gives some and I will ask around.However I am going to Rome for August and early September so it may be late September before you get an answer.I will look into Calwer though.Nice illustrations. Have you seen Hymis.de forum? Slainte Robert Notafly (talk) 09:43, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

butterfly book[edit]

hi robert,

the person that originally scanned calwer's beetle book has (among quite some other ones) a new butterfly book from france online. maybe you're interested, the pictures are GFDL so could be moved to commons (although i'd rather not do the work, at least not right now, calwer was a bit time-consuming). cheers! --Sarefo (talk) 13:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NHM[edit]

Thank you so much for using my picture --Drow male (talk) 14:01, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

many more pics to come :)[edit]

hi robert,

i will very likely have access to the collection of Museum Koenig (Bonn) soon, looks like they let me take pictures of all their specimens, and even let me use their nice equipment :) they have lots of butterflies, but also vast amounts of beetles, and i think quite some dipteres. if you have any suggestions what would be most important for you or wiki, leave me a note :) cheers --Sarefo (talk) 22:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

bad news: i talked with the guy responsible for database stuff at the museum today, and he told me he cannot allow a non-commercial license. he was very nice and all, but he said he is part of a community of museums that all are scanning their stuff at the moment, and will put up their own web, and he cannot make a single run with this. i'm totally crushed, also because the other people i talked with before there didn't mention this at all and said it was no problem... i tried to tell him about the possibilities that this kind of politics kills before it had a chance to flower, but my vision didn't get through. they don't understand that isolating the non-commercial world from the rest is essentially stopping their stuff from getting a foothold in the other world, ideally shifting the weight over via viral licenses like cc-by-sa. i'm convinced he's doing the community a disservice, but what can i do... the strange thing is that the boss of the department seems to think it would be ok if i did this. so, there dies my project for the next year. cheers --Sarefo (talk) 00:40, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Notafly!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.
