Hello, I photographed this fly in Pamplemousses, Mauritius, on April 20th 2024. I think it is a Stomoxys, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos? If I'm not mistaken, 3 species are reported for the Mascarenes, but I wasn't able to find much information on how to tell them apart. Thank you in advance, Emanuele ESant attached the following image: ![]() [296.85Kb] Edited by ESant on 27-06-2024 20:56 |
