This week's episode is an exploration of the modest but fascinating family Ulidiidae, the "picture-winged flies." Tangents include fly phylogenies (fly-logeny), sperm and the distribution thereof, and whether there's any truly correct way to pronounce scientific names.

This episode follows the first publication out of Charles's MS thesis, "An illustrated identification key to the genera of Ulidiidae (Diptera: Tephritoidea) of the United States and Canada," published in the Canadian Journal of Arthropod Identification here: https://cjai.biologicalsurvey.ca/w_45/w_45.html
