Genus ID's improving fast
I don't know if it the community improving a lot, or the AI learning fast, but the genus identifications are really good over the past year, especially of common genera. This is great!

Get ready for lots of Thereva and Ozodiceromyia photos. These two genera have a lot of species and are relatively common in North America. In northern Europe and Asia you will see plenty of Thereva, but no Ozodiceromyia of course. Hopefully we will see some other interesting genera that we have seen before. With an estimated 1500-2000 species world wide, we can hope to see a lot more new species to add to our 300+ so far.
Also, with Autumn here, we might start to see some Autumnal stiletto flies in Australia (genus Medomega).
