it was to strong to fall a victom! Flaw away! But was it Calliphora?

nO. fLY is a Calliphoridae - Lucillia sp. The spider belongs to the Dyctinidae family.  It is a Dyctina, if I'm not wrong.

I'm not an expert, but somehow it doesn't look like Lucilia. Are we sure it is not Neomyia (Muscidae) ? Theo |

well spotted Theo. Really scutum DOESN'T HAVE very strong bristles. So it cannot be a Lucillia sp. The gena seems more CHyrsomyia .. not so protruding as we can see in Neomyia. Now, I'm not sure. It would help to see the frontalia. Concerning the spider I'm sure about the family. |

Hmm...I looked at this, had doubts about Lucilia, then decided it probably was Lucilia. I think the choice is between Lucilia and Neomyia (viridescens). Chrysomya is unlikely in Poland, but Neomyia can have a similar look - that rather overstuffed and hunched appearance, and a rather bluey tinge to the green. I did wonder about Chrysominae though - Protocalliphora. Upshot of all this pondering: I don't know. Susan |

This fly doesn't appear to have metallic green jowls, so I think it is not Neomyia, but some Calliphorid.
