HI * locality - Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL * date - 25.11.2006 * size - 7 mm * habitat - open land * substrate - granite/lichen I saw this fly just a little before a storm. And took some photos with bad illumination. I think this is Scathophaga sp. It has the most beautiful colour I've seen in flies. Greenish and yellowish hues. I saw this fly flight even with one wing. Impressive. I saw that this fly almost caught a Sepsidae fly, but my flash saved Sepsidae fly...  see it bigger here: http://www.flickr...259&size=l Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 25-11-2006 22:47 |

Hello, Jorge! My guess as a non-expert would be: male Scatophaga stercoraria. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
