Hello,

normally all Lucilia sized green metallic flies in January until March are Neomyia cornicina (Muscidae) here (northwest Germany).
Lucilia seldom occurs before mid/late April. But this one visited on a sunny day (14 °C) my fruit baits in our courtyard (together with some true Neomyia, Calliphora vicina, Pollenia sp., Phaonia tuguriorum etc.) in the midth of February. And it seems to be really a Lucilia, no Neomyia, correct?
