Sarcophaga s.l. IMpossible to say more by photo. This is a hell family!! Very... much more than Anthomyiidae.  |

Sarcophagidae, yes, but the fixed abdominal pattern and jizz suggest Macronychia - almost cetainly Macronychia striginervis. Nice fly! - One for the gallery?

Thanks Tony and Jorge for the ID- more than I expected . Jizz as in the immediate recognition of a specimen from the briefest of glimpses ? (Wikipedia). Have submitted it to the gallery Brian V. Edited by LordV on 25-06-2007 11:01 |
