Now back to the fly, if mounted specimen will be photographed something more can be added? thanks, cosmln

Somehow, it might be the first. So the question is: are there setulae on the back side of coxa 3 present. Have a very good look ! And start with Sarcophaga carnaria or so to learn this feature (they are present there). Theo

Next thing to do: to visit Taj Mahal palace and find out for flies over there.
