Conopidae are flies of variable size, ranging from 4 to 25 mm. Some of them have a wasp-like appearance while others are reddish or greyish. They can be recognized by characters in the wing: the narrowed or closed cell R5 and the presence of a long anal cell (except Dalmanniinae). Many species have an elongated snout, which is bend under the head. Adult Conopidae are nectar feeders, while the larvae are endoparasites of mainly Hymenoptera aculeata (social wasps, bees and bumble bees).

In recent years contemporary artists have been appropriating and re-inventing traditional fairy tales. Subverting and interrogating received meanings, artists are challenging the traditional parameters of tales which convey ideas of gender role and racial identity. The fairy tale is being translated from literary text into visual culture. The artists recoding the tales address shifts in cultural attitude, engaging predominantly with issues of identity and discrimination. In this paper I examine the visual development of “Little Red Riding Hood,” investigating the manner in which the literary tale has been adopted by contemporary artists, how the visual responds to the textual, and cultural attitudes embedded in reiterations of the tale.

From the viewpoint of an economist, the size distribution of open access publishers looked inefficient. In this article I first explore reasons to be sceptical to a situation with a large number of small publishers. Then I go through the numbers from the Directory of Open Access Journals, also discussing problems inherent in the material. The results are then compared to similar data about toll access publishing. A conclusion is that, even though numbers may lack in exactitude, there seems to be a need for institutions to look at how they organize their publishing activities.
