...but I can't seem to find what this could be. Rather large fly (10-15mm?) visiting flowers (goldenrud etc) on an unused patch of land of business park "Boeldershoek" near Hengelo (Overijssel) in the Netherlands. Photo taken 2006-09-11 Thanks for any tips Arp Arp attached the following image:  [89.2Kb] Edited by Arp on 14-10-2006 06:08 |

Hi Arp This is quite OK to ask stupid questions. As my teacher used to say: you learn the most by asking stupid questions. Your fly is Cynomyia mortuorum (Calliphoridae), dutch: Lijkenvlieg Unmistakeble indeed (they come in green as well) Theo Zeegers |

Thanks Theo, It's just amazing how much easier it is to find matching pictures once you have name  Unbecomming name btw, for the easy-going flower-visiting critter it appeared to be that day. Thanks again Arp |
