Gauging interest for fly (Diptera, maybe other taxa) identifying parties

Here are the options I can think of off the top of my head that I can lead at the moment (and am experienced in):

  • Species ID of Anthomyia (Anthomyiidae)
  • Generic ID of Eristalini (Syrphidae)
  • Species ID of a certain genus of Eristalini (Syrphidae)
  • Learn how to recognize some common genera in Cicadellidae and identify them to species (this could be split into several options, as I have four key outlines ready to illustrate) (key in creation process)
  • Species ID of Megarhyssa (Ichneumonidae)
  • Species ID of adult Lygaeus (Lygaeidae) (key in creation process)

You can choose three options, so pick your favorites.

Some of the options refer to keys that I haven’t finished yet, so before discussing the taxon I’d want to complete the key.

I want to do somewhat of a practice party sometime in the next few weeks, so I’ll pick one of the options above (preferably an easy one, simple to understand and teach) to practice with.
