Moscow reg., 07 July, on dead cat. I suspect that it is another Neoleria - N.inscripta - no strip at thorax, less size, lighter and often with yellowish scutellum. Correct? Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [55.73Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Thank you Andrzej. There is distinct ecological difference between N.ruficauda and N.inscripta, both attracted by carrion, but N.ruficauda prefers more "fresh" carrion - with maximum in period 1-2 week after cat death. N.inscripta appear 1-1,5 week later in period 2,5-3,5 weeks after death. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Thank you Andrzej.

N.inscripta appear 1-1,5 week later in period 2,5-3,5 weeks after death. I have to disprove my conclusions above. Correct is another explanation: Both N.ruficauda and N.inscripta appear on 3-4 day old carrion and remain near carrion at least a month. But (in Moscow region): N.ruficauda fly Apr-May N.inscripta fly from end of May till mid-Aug at least Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
