New target species

Hi Everyone!
nobody has found a Pionosomus varius for a while, so I think it's time to choose a new target species.
@carnifex suggested in https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/32838192 that I could try and find a Similar Fruit Fly (Drosophila simulans), and I thought that would be a good next target. D. simulans looks very similar to D. melanogaster, and a good photo of the abdomen of a male is needed for a species ID. @carnifex could go through our Drosophila observations to help find photos of D. simulans. Here's the best iNat photo of that species, to give you an idea of what they look like:

I've also got a question for the members of this project; Should we leave the Pionosomus varius challenge open, and have this as a second challenge at the same time, or should we close the other one down?

Good luck finding a Drosophila simulans,
Alexis
