Hello! In contrast to the many 12 mm individuals this one from our couryard (northwest Germany) measured only 7-8 mm.

Size is of little relevance, it just indicates the amount of food the larva got. However, the basicosta does look pretty dark, which makes this a candidate Calliphora loewi. Any other pics, no matter how bad ? Or collected specimen ??? Theo |

Hello, Theo! I'm afraid I only have three nearly identical pictures from the same angle. Here is a less compressed one (179 KB).

It really does look like C. loewi, I'm pretty but not totally convinced. Pity we don't have a lateral (head)shot. any aberrant Calliphora in October should always be checked for loewi !! Theo |

Yesterday I saw again such a small, dark Calliphora at the same place and hoped to get some better pictures, but it was away. before I could take a single shot.

But I did not have the camera at hand. I only have some pics of two individuals in the garden. I'm afraid, again not from best angles... Two 1200x1200 pictures of the first one: http://www.foto-u...mm_M1a.jpg http://www.foto-u...mm_M2a.jpg Juergen Peters attached the following image:  [61.89Kb] Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
