"Emilia P. Nartshuk and the late Hugo Andersson, two well respected specialists on Chloropidae (Diptera, Acalyptrata), wrote this very interesting and popular publication about a relatively little known group of flies. It is an important source of information not only for the general public but also for entomologists who are not specialists on this family. The book can be divided into three main parts. The first informs readers of previous studies on Chloropidae in Fennoscandia and Denmark, collecting methods, preparation and preservation, and also describes the morphology and anatomy of adults and preimaginal stages. Many illustrations complement the text" - Š. Kubík, Czech University of Life Sciences, Prague, in: European Journal of Entomology vol.111 no. 2
