Many thanks, John  . Perhaps it is a fly of the genus Exorista, and if so, perhaps Exorista larvarum or E. fasciata?Greetings, Volker Edited by Volker on 10-08-2025 06:58 |

Phorinia aurifrons is obviously a much better fit. To me, as a layman, these flies all look pretty much the same. Thanks for your correction. Greetings, Volker |

Yes I know. Phorinia aurifrons stands out because the reclinate orbitals are so strong. But this requires an awful lot of experience Theo |
