Be careful with estimates in the field.
There is no such thing as a Sarcophaga longer than, say, 18 mm.

A Sarcophaga s.l. indeed.

In the European species of Mosquito's and Flies from Pjotr Oosterbroek, there is a mention that the Sarcophagidae has a sice from 3-22 mm.
Is it 18mm or 22mm, because I'm searching for that Sarcop. of 22mm......and then I can search my hole live long for it....:D
