The plant in the background is Phalaris arundinacea Is it a Calliphoridae? Is a closer determination possible? Best wishes Josef Josef Buecker attached the following image: [15.5Kb]

Also Chrysomyia does not have strong bristles on the abdomen - this fly seems to have some - that's why I think it's Lucilia. Edited by Tony Irwin on 22-02-2008 22:35 Tony ---------- Tony Irwin
