I have no cell phone. So I won't be able to work with you - very sorry since this is one of my favorite topics. I thought I submitted this earlier, but maybe I didn't hit send properly.
If anyone is interested in doing business within Researchgate, I have a question that I can't seem to get any interest in. When I lived in China (Anhui Hefei) in the early 80's, i used to collect the egg cases (piaoxiao) of praying mantids. In the spring when one didn't hatch (all the others had) i finally cut into it and a lot of tiny black beetles fell out. They must have eaten all the baby mantids, either as eggs or as nymphs. Does anyone have any idea what those beetles (now I'm beginning to doubt myself, or even bugs, but they looked like beetles although very small) might have been? It seemed certain that they had parasitized the egg case. Anyone interested in helping me figure out what they might be?
I'm very interested in this topic. But I failed to join this wechat group because the system promoted that the 2D barcode was expired. Any new 2D barcode?
Here we have one of your fly relatives, the Picture-winged fly, Delphinia picta. The info sheet says it lives on rotting compost. Which of them have agricultural significance in Iran? Here is one I photographed in May, although they are seen from time to time most of the summer.
