Found 28.01.18 dead at house, Tuebingen, Southern Germany. Is this a Calliphora (perhaps C. subalpina)? If not, a brief explanation of the differentiating features is appreciated. Thanks, Lars Mtfyfe attached the following image: [108.43Kb] |

Let's start with thr simplest solution: vicina. All Calliphora are extremely similar. Rognes did a great job in describing the differences, I am not going to copy. In any case: you can only suggest another species if you are dead-sure it is not vicina, since 99.5% is vicina. Only in boreo-mountainous regions (like Norway) this is not true. This one clearly is vicinaarkened calypter and yellow basicosta. Theo |
