Picture taken May 7th, 2003 in my garden, east of Deventer, the Netherlands. I always considered this to be a S. stercoraria, but lately I noticed it has yellowish antennae. Using Bal and seeing a well developed female, I concluded this is Scathophaga inquinata. The scutellum is dark and not light as in S. lutaria. The leg is plain brown. What makes me wonder is whether this species is a hunter itself, or a scavenger. I didn't find the answer on the internet. It's a detail I want to include on my site. Thank you in advance. gardensafarinl attached the following image:  [194.92Kb] |
