Hello, I am still trying to find some Calliphora non-vicina. C. vomitoria is relatively easy to distinguish from vicina, but other species are very difficult for me to recognize. If I remember correctly, the light wing basis (what is the technical term for it?; I can't recall), marked with an arrow on the photo below, is characteristic for Calliphora vicina? I have taken many photos since July, I can't upload them all. Some I have posted here: http://insektenfo...tID=307525. They are also bigger (up to 1800x1350 pixels) than possible here. I would be very grateful, if somebody could have a look at them and tell me, if he/she finds a specimen that is not C. vicina. Thanks in advance!

You are right about the yellow basicosta being characteristic of vicina. I don't know about north-west Germany, but here in south-east England the two species of Calliphora you mention are the only two we expect to see. |

Thank you, Howard! The term 'basicosta' was what I missed...

Hi Juergen, The other speices are either boreal or mountaineous or both. You are not likely to meet them in Central Germany. Theo |

I had read, these other species could occur here sometimes, especially in winter.
